Note: I just transcribed the tabs from Youtube videos as follow… http://youtu.be/8ZvHyWV-kcI,
 and http://youtu.be/MqBR6amhIk4 I haven’t seen any decent tab of this great break up song so
 I’m gonna post this one. This is not entirely my work of course, and credits go to the guys 
on the vids. I divided this into two, for your reference. The first part is the tab, the second
 part are the chords without the capo. You can always improvise the plucking pattern, mine’s 
not exact on the tablature, but it will do. I’m kinda tired. LoL. So just improvise the
 plucking if you may. 
This one goes out to my ex who will never come back to me of course. Hazel Anne Racelis. 
You can always change your mind babe. You know I always love you. -Kel

(SAME PATTERN)
If the truth is you’re a liar
When you say that you’re okay
(I’m sleeping on your side of the bed
I’m going out of head)
If you’re trying to move on
But something pulls you back again
(I’m sitting here trying to persuade you
Like we were in the same room)

There’d be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There’d be a light in the hall
And the key under the mat 
if you ever come back, if you ever come back now

(2ND VERSE)
Now they say I’m wasting my time
Coz you’re never coming home
(But they used to say the world was flat
And how wrong was that now)
And by leaving my door open
I’m risking everything I own
(But there’s nothing I could lose 
In a break in, that you haven’t taken)

And I wish you could give me the cold shoulders
And I wish you could still give me the hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing was a waste of time
Even if I never cross your mind

 but for your reference. It’s almost the same but the open notes makes it sound different. IDK its up to you.)
