Well I saw no tabs for this amazing acoustic song so I thought 
I'd try my hand at it. I got most of the chords down but some 
of the picking is messing with my head. This isn't the exact 
tab but I think it's close.

*UPDATE* For some reason the spacing was wrong on the intro 
for this tab so I fixed that and I took out the horrible picking 
I had for the intro. I had a friend help me out on this one. He told me
 there was some hammering for the intro and I realized he was right so 
I give full credit to him for this one and I think it sounds pretty close now.

Tuning:Standard (EADGBe)

Intro:Lots of dead string strumming in the whole song.

Pre-Chorus:no dead strings just basic strumming with a lot of same chords.Liste to song to see where to switch from chord to chord.
"And he can't understand...."

Repeat Verse again.

Go into pre-chorus after verse.

Play chorus once again but go into small bridge.

Breakdown:Basically same as chorus and verse slightly.This is where violin comes in for small part in song.
"Forget anything you've heard...."

E|----------------9---x--x-----------9---x--x---7---5------------------------|

Bridge:Not a lot of dead string chords here. It's pretty much these 3 chords over and over.
"And she didn't even notice..."
e|---0-----0----0------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---0-----0----0------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---11----9----7------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---11----9----7------------------------------------------------------------|go into chorus once more.

E|---9-----7----5------------------------------------------------------------|

repeat chorus and end song.

Well this is the only tab that hasn't been tabbed that deserves to be. I know there may be some picking parts missing or sounding slightly off but I think this is pretty good for the most part. This is one of the best acoustic songs I've heard and I hope this helps anyone who comes upon it. IM me at RVDFlyer89 for any questions or problems at all.Peace.
