 Comments: I like this song. It¥s very straight-forward and there isn¥t much


 to the guitar parts but it works like a charm. This is another one that has


 been transcribed before (on the net as well as in an official tab-book that


 I unfortunately don¥t have). Usually people put the first part of Rhy. Fig 1


 in all open strings but it ain¥t so. Also, it is difficult to hear, but in


 Rhy. Fig 6 there is some arpeggiation when going from the A to the E. It might


 not be played by the primary guitar (although I have notated it as such here)


 but could be a semi-clean electric in the background. Notes in parenthesis are


 played every once in a while. The end of the solo might not be entirely


 accurate. It sound harmonized and the position shift at the end is a bitch.


 Key:


 / = slide up


 \ = slide down


 b = bend (whole step)


 b^ = bend (1/2 step)


 b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)


 pb = pre-bend


 r = release-bend


 t = tap with righthand finger


 h = hammer-on


 p = pull-off


 ~ = Vibrato


 * = Natural Harmonic




 ** = Artificial Harmonic


 x = Dead notes (no pitch)


 P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)


 (\) = Dive w\bar


 (/) = Release w\bar


 Tp = Tap w\plectrum

 Baby, now that you've made up your mind
 I'm gonna let you go, if that's what it takes to show love is blind
 [Rhy. Fig 5]
 I gave you the best love you ever had, but it wasn't enough
 So if you think you're so smart, go and play with your heart
 When you walk out the door, you'll realize what you never did before
 [Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 2a]
 A million to one - that's what it will be

 [Rhy. Fig 4]
 Yeah, we chose our sides ooh and I've been misunderstood
 But everytime I try to open your eyes, I'm damned and I'm no good
 [Rhy. Fig 5]
 Day after day, you're further away, I can't take anymore
 So it's time that you go, but I want you to know, I won't stand in your way
 Deep in my heart I know, girl you're runnin' away
 [Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 2a]
 A million to one - that's what it will be
 [Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 2b]

 [Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 8] (4x/2x)
 A million to one - listen to your heart girl
 A million to one - oh oh
 A million to one - no, you never will find
 A million to one - another love like mine
 [Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 3a] (3x)
