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

Note: x - Dont play,only on chorus

Don't say that you dont un-der-stand

The end part of the solo [6bp4bh6bp4bh6bp4] is a lot easier

than it looks, just bend the string a bit and do the

hammer-ons and pull-offs. I don't think the bending is

nessicary anywhere, i just think it's a nice touch.

After the "She thinks shes a star,do you know who you are?"

part, the chorus/verse changes to this:

Verse/Chorus II:
