Katy Perry - Thinking of You - Live version
by Telanis
 
After spending an hour or so watching different recordings of Katy
Perry play this song, this is what I've come up with.  I'm pretty
sure it's correct, but even if it's not perfect it's still a lot
better than any other tab I've seen for this song.  You can refer
to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FltEU-VKRC8
 
First let's define some chords.  For most chords, you should hit
the bass note alone, and then strum the full chord.  You can figure
out the strumming pattern yourself, it's not too hard.  Note that
each X* is essentially an open-E chord with X as the bass note.

Verse 1:
 
E*                 B*
   Comparisons are   easily done, once you've
 
C#*                A*
   Had a taste of    perfection, like an
 
E*            B*
Apple hanging from a tree, I picked the

   I guess   second best is all I will know

         E                 A2/F#
Cos when I'm with him I am      thinking of you
 
A2                     Bsus4/E
   Thinking of you     What you would do, if
 
E                        A2/F#
You were the one who was      spending the night

   I wish that I was looking into your
 
E*       B*       C#*      A*       E*       B*       C#*      A*

Let   myself, let   you go, and
 
C#m/E                 F#sus4+7
Now, now the lesson's learned - I touched and I was
 
A2         A2+6       A2           A2+6
Burned, oh I    think you   should know

   Oh I wish that I was looking into your,
 
E                       A2/F#
Your eyes, looking into your eyes, looking into
 
A2             Bsus4/E
Your eyes      Won't you walk through and
 
E                       A2/F#
   Bust in the door and       take me away, yeah
