Nothing Is Ever Finished
(an interpretation in standard tuning by rifewithdisease)
3/4 or 6/8 probably
Play fast with fingers, palm-mute low E string rhythmically on each
beat. The beauty of playing it without a pick is that you can make
each phrase sound much busier than it truly is by hitting open notes
strategically. You might also find yourself more readily able to
alternate to fingerpicking in at least one small section of the song.
Here we go:

So:
That's the song. Or at least my interpretation of it.
If you know the structure, all should be well.
As something of a 'bonus feature' of this interpretation;
once you have the tab flowing through your fingers,
here are the rough chords and lyrics:
Em G A
Baby blue, it really kinda suits you.
Em G A G Em~~~
Maybe it's just your eyes, or the nights alone.
Em G A Em G A G
Daisy, took the ring right off my finger.
Em G A
Baby blue, look what they did to you.
Em G A G Em~~~
Maybe it's a disguise, for my eyes only.
Em G A Em G A G
Daisy, destiny's pulling the trigger.
Em/C G7Maj G G/F# Em
Tempta-------tion, it happens to everyone.
Em/C G7Maj G G/F# Em Em/C G7Maj
Tempta-------tion, wipe that smile off your face.
Em Em G A
Nothing is ever finished. (x3)
G A G A G A G A
Em G A
Baby blue, I really wanna kiss you.
Em G A G
But I'm not sure if that's wise.
Em G A Em~~
Daisy, don't tell me you don't want it too,
Em G A G
Such a naughty surprise.
Em/C G7Maj G G/F# Em
Tempta-------tion, it happens to everyone.
Em/C G7Maj G G/F# Em Em/C G7Maj
Tempta-------tion, wipe that smile off your face.
Em Em G A
Nothing is ever finished. (x5)
G A G A G A G A
To close: Em or fade-out, either would be fine.
Best of luck.
