Here's the main idea for the verse...it varies slightly throughout the song. Just arppegiate the chords and it'll sound fine. 1st note Bm D A e | ------- | ------------------------------------------ | R--------- b------- | ------------------------------------------- | E | --------- G | ------- | ------------------7---------6--------6---- | P--------- D | --(9)-- | --------(b9)------7---7---------7--------7-- | E | --------- A | ------- | -----(b9)---(b9)-5------------7--------7------ | A | --------- E | ------- | --7--------------------5---------5-------- | T--------- Pre-Chorus - once again, this varies slightly throughout the song.
