You can figure out the strumming pattern from this video:

(If you want the slightly more advanced way of playing it then look at the bottom 
of the page..)



Intro

e|--0--0--0--2--|
B|--0--0--0--3--|
D|--2--1--0--2--|
G|--2--2--4--0--|
A|--0--2--4--0--|
E|--0--0--2--0--|

I'll call the first one A, the 2nd E, the 3rd F#m and the 4th D.





          A (x02220@1)                                 ETwist (022100@1)the dials, see I didn't know this could go this loud
          F#m (244222@1)                              DI (xx0232@1)roll my window down and let the air go round
                     ANothing (x02220@1)happened really
       ENo (022100@1)not much at all
             F#m (244222@1)                   DBut (xx0232@1)for some reason I, I feel quite tall


                 AWe (x02220@1)only sat on a couch
             EPretty (022100@1)close to be fair
            F#m (244222@1)                       DYeah (xx0232@1)we did kiss a bit but it ended there
                     A (x02220@1)            EFrom (022100@1)that leather couch in someone else's house
           F#m (244222@1)                  DI (xx0232@1)take the clarity and leave it out




D (xx0232@1)name="chord_022100@1">E                     F#m (244222@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D
    I hope this was the start
                  ABut (x02220@1)maybe there's more
                 F#mWould (244222@1)it mark the start
D (xx0232@1)       E (022100@1)                  F#m (244222@1)      DPlease (xx0232@1)say I haven't taken too long, have I?
           ATo (x02220@1)sort my head out
            F#m (244222@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D
To mark the start of this night

A E F#m D



A (x02220@1)                        E (022100@1) We're pretty close to be fair
             F#m (244222@1)                     DBut (xx0232@1)for some reason I, I feel quite tall
                 AWe (x02220@1)only sat on a couch
             EPretty (022100@1)close to be fair
                   F#m (244222@1)                DYeah (xx0232@1)we did kiss a bit but it ended there





I've covered the basic chords here.. if you want to go for the slightly more 
advanced way of playing it (which does sound better and it's closer to the way 
tommy plays it) then try these chords:

Intro / Verse
(in the intro the first set (3 chords) listed below is the equivalent to playing 
A, E and F#m in the basic chords and then the second set listed (7 chords) is 
played instead of the D chord).

If you can't play the 2nd set fast enough then you could just play the 
0/9/11/11/0/0 and it would sound OK.

e|--0---0---0--|  e|--0---0--0---0---0---0--0---|
B|--0---0---0--|  B|--0---0--0---0---0---0--0---|
D|--0---0---0--|  D|--11--8--10--11--10--8--10--|
G|--11--11--8--|  G|--11--8--10--11--10--8--10--|
A|--11--11--8--|  A|--9---6--8---9---8---6--8---|
E|--9---8---6--|  E|--0---0--0---0---0---0--0---|

Chorus
(I hope this was the start...)

e|--0---0---0--|  e|--0---0---0---|
B|--0---0---0--|  B|--0---0---0---|
D|--11--0---0--|  D|--11--0---0---|
G|--11--11--8--|  G|--11--11--8---|
A|--9---11--8--|  A|--9---11--8---|
E|--0---8---6--|  E|--0---9---6---|

(If you're having a go at this version I'm sure you can figure out when to play 
the chords for the rest of the song!)



Thanks, hope you enjoyed this tab :).
