I transcribed this album simply because I love it and thinking that this piece
of music should be available to play for as many as possible.
Much of the music can be described as simple chords, so that's what I've
basically done all the way through. But I've of course also included some of the
essential picking patterns, fills and riffs.
If you think any part is missing or if you would just like something typed into
Guitar Pro, I'd love to help you out with that.
In the bottom of the tab I've added the links to the all songs, which I've also
submitted on separately. And all the tabs there include the correct lyrics and a
sweet little comment on the song from my part. ;)

In this song there are the figure/riff and a couple of chords.
The verses include both the riff and then the chords of the riff, just
casually picked. So I'll just write like 2x Riff, then pick the chords,
which I just notate in common bars. All the used chords can be seen
right below. The chords in the chorus are just regularly strummed.
It's really not complicated :)

A:---3------5--------2-----2--------0------1----- ---2-------x-----:
E:-------------------------3--------------------- -----------6-----:
(The last two chords are used live. The G/B is played instead
of the Bmb6 and the Bb6sus2 instead of the Bbsus2. I just
thought I'd spice things up with some alternatives here ;)

The first four chords are the piano chords on the album-version.
It's impossible transcribe the piano exactly for guitar, but this
is the best sounding way I could come up with.
The last two chords are the ones Jason plays around with as a
foreplay when playing it acoustic.

In this song there's basically just the main round, which makes up the
intro, the verse and the chorus with a couple of breaks, and then there
are the three pre-choruses. So instead of writing the same chords over
again, I've just written how many rounds long each part is, simple :)
The Main Round:
| E | C#m7 | Abm7 | Aadd9 B(add11) |
