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

do that 4 times. and on the 2nd and 4th times instead of playing on 10th and 8th frets

the last five chords play on the 12th and 10th i know i have horrible explanations but

thats no important. then play the part i told you to play after the chorus earlier

repeat verse, repeat chorus

this is the part after the second chorus
