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

-----------------------------

This is definitely one of my favourite songs

but couldn't find any complete tabs for this

so I made one myself.

I'm sure that this tab for the main guitar

is 100% right.

If there are any major errors though please

tell me about it

----------------------------

**There is a lot of sliding towards the middle part

where the power chords are.

Cold October fall,

At the outside of a VFW hall,

I said I minded distance

but distance would define us, define us all.

A tree in Nichol's Park,

I carved a broken heart (carved a broken heart)

But distance owned us from the start.

It's every song, every song.

There's dividing lines between east and standard time,

Will this come between us? As I doubt

All of the pages I pour out.

When our doubt becomes regret,

Don't ever forget...

You own me,

If you'd only see.

We've forgotten how, she says:

"Will this come between us?",

As I doubt all of the pages I pour out.

When our doubt becomes regret,

Don't ever, never forget...
