This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

No tab for this song anywhere, I thought I'd give it a shot.

I'm 99% sure about this one...the only part that might be off is the bridge.

For the verses and chorus he plays around with variations of the chords, but I'm

just giving you the root

Cmaj7 |x32000|

Asus4 |x02230|

G |320003|

Gadd9 |320005|

F |xx3213|

Dm |xx0231|

Dsus2 |xx0230|

Dsus4 |xx0233|

Cw |x32013| (its still just a C...so ima call it Cw, don't bug me about it)

Oh Baby please just take me back

It's breakin' me
