Capo on 2nd fret

The F, F7M and G6 chords are played with the thumb over the neck holding the bass note.

Intro:

   C
e|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|
B|--------1-----|--------1-----|--------1-----|--------1-----|
G|------------0-|------------0-|------------0-|------------0-|
D|------2---2---|------2---2---|------2---2---|------2---2---|
A|-3------------|-3------------|-3------------|-3------------|
E|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|

This is the picking pattern used throughout the song. Right hand thumb plays the 5th 
string for C and Am or 6th string for G, F, Em etc.


Verse (same picking as above):

    C            G        F         Am
If you ever pass by where I used to live

   G                 F                Am
And should you bump into the man I was with

  G          F           Em      G
Back when I didn't know what to believe

 F                           Am
Please will you tell him from me


The G at the end of the third line (as she sings "believe") is played slightly 
differently using a hammer-on like this:

   G
e|-------------------|
B|-------0h1---0-----|
G|-------0---------0-|
D|-----0-----0---0---|
A|-------------------|
E|-3-----------------|


Chorus (same fingerpicking):

      C                G      F         Am
That I loved him with every beat of my heart

  G               F          C        G
I trembled with longing when we were apart

    F                        Em
Oh, I'd ache to pull him in close

F                      Am
  And I don't think he knows


For the final F in the chorus she just plays the bass note once instead of the picking pattern.


Post-chorus:

This is strummed rather than fingerpicked.

G6  F7M   Am



The rest of the song is played in the same way.


The last thing I heard he was losing his job
I guess they'd found out that he rarely turned up
He hated it there only stayed for me
Please, will you make him believe

That I always thought you should follow your dreams
However hard and uncertain it seems
I'd have loved him whatever he chose
I don't think he knows


Our lives grew apart, it's been just over a year
For reasons I can't really tell you about here
Love wasn't nearly enough in the end
Please, will you tell him again

That I hurt myself more than I ever hurt him
I wasn't as distant and cold as I seemed
I was lost all the way into my bones
I don't think he knows

N.B. The post-chorus is slightly different here:

G6  F7M  Am
G6  F7M  Am
G6  F7M  Em  F  F7M


When the dust had settled he moved on as well
He found a new girl that he loved, I could tell
And my mind started wandering jealously
Please, will you ask him from me

If really he thought that I was the one
Or were we just sharing some time on the run
Did he love me with peace and with hope
I don't really know

Ending is like this:

G6  F7M  Am
G6  F7M  Am
G6  F7M  Em  F  F7M
G6  F7M
