Hey everyone, this is my first tab, but I'm pretty sure it's Legit.

First think you need to do is tune your guitar a half step down.
So the guitar is Eb Ab C# F# Bb Eb
If you don't have a tuner you dont have to tune it down but it wont match the 
song, it'll be a half step higher. (or sharp)

This isnt the way Cody actually plays the song, but it is a moderation.

I'm not sure of all the chord names because they are sus or 7 or somthing so I'll 
just put a chord chart.

     G             D/F#            Em7             C7              D
e|--3-----|    e|--3-----|    e|--3-----|    e|--3-----|    e|--2-----|
B|--3-----|    B|--3-----|    B|--3-----|    B|--3-----|    e|--3-----|
G|--------|    G|--2-----|    G|--------|    G|--------|    e|--2-----|
D|--------|    D|--------|    D|--2-----|    D|--2-----|    e|--------|
A|--2-----|    A|--------|    A|--2-----|    A|--3-----|    e|--------|
E|--3-----|    E|--2-----|    E|--------|    E|--------|    e|--------|

 Those are the chords you play the whole time, just in a different order a points.
I'm sure you notice there is a picking pattern at the beginning.
its like this...

Each pattern is done 2 times 

e|-------3--|    e|------3---|    e|------3---|    then you strum both
B|-------3--|    B|------3---|    B|------3---|    C7 and D
G|-------0--|    G|------2---|    G|---0--0---|    
D|---0---0--|    D|---0--0---|    D|----2-2---|    
A|-----2----|    A|----0-----|    A|--2-------|    
E|--3-------|    E|--2-------|    E|----------|    


Alright now to where it all goes. (:


        G                    G
If you step back and realize I'm sure that you'll see

            D/F#                  D/F#
That these words that were spoken eventually,

      Em7                         Em7
Will dwell in my conscience till my dying day

    C7        D
Oh what can I say

    G                      G
To change your perception, want me by your side

    D/F#                         D/F#
The fact that you moved on makes me wanna cry

       Em7                    Em7
If you open your door I'll be there with arms wide

      C7                      D
Just begging and praying for one more goodbye

        Em7      C7
So I'll wait for you,

        Em7           C7
Even though you dont want me to because

G            D/F#
I'm not over you, I promise

Em7
This word they call love 


Come push or to shove

   C7                    D
I ment it and now I'm in tears, my love.


I keep telling myself that its what what it seems
and I wish that wouldn't keep haunting my dreams
I'll shoot out of bed and wake up in a sweat
How could I forget?
I imagined the worse when we were on the phone,
As you sat there and told me that you were alone
I could see him I know how me makes you behave
That this wasnt the girl that I kissed on our date

But I'll wait for you
Even though you dont want me to because

I'm not over you, I promise
This word they call love come push or to shove
I ment it and now I'm in tears
Because I'm not over you, I promise
You wont see this face show up at your place
Although I'm in town I'll stay here, my love

    G
And I should know better, give up while I can

    D/F#
And prove to the world that I'll be my own man

    Em7
You broke me and took me along for the ride

          C7                          D
And this pain that you left me should make me subside but I'm

not over you, I promise
This word they call love come push or to shove
I ment it and now I'm in tears
Because I'm not over you, I promise
You wont see this face show up at your place
Although I'm in town I'll stay here, my love

Because I'm not over you, I promise 
This word they call love come push or to shove,
I ment it and now I'm in tears, My love
