Tuning: Standard
The majority of this is just the original song an octave lower, this is so it can be
played easily acoustically, without the high notes.
Intro:
Play this twice
e|----------------------------------------------------| B|-4-4--4-4-4--7-7-4--4-4-4--9-9-4--9/11-11-11-11-9---| G|-4-4------------------------------------------------| D|-4--------------------------------------------------| A|-2--------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------| e|----------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------| G|-4-4--4-4-4--6-4---6-4----4--4-4-4------------------| D|-6---------------6-----6--6--------5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-| A|----------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------|
Verse 1:
Played and quickly muted, listen to the song you'll get it, there's also the occasional
up,down,up, normally before movement between chords
[B] [E]
e|-2----0---| B|-4----0---| G|-4----1---| D|-4----2---| A|-2--------| E|----------|
[B]Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
[B]Or knackered Converse
[B]Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
[E]But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there ain't no [E]romance around there
[B]And there's the truth that they can't see
[B]They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
[B]And if [E]you could only see them, then you would agree
[E]Agree that there ain't no romance around there
Chorus:
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-6-6-4-----6-4----6-4-------------------------------------------------| A|-------6-4-----6------6-----------------6-6-4-4-----------------------| E|-----------------7------7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4---------7-4-4-4-4/3-3-3-3-3-3-|
Verse 2:
The same as Verse 1
[B]And over there there's broken bones
[B]There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
[E] And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little [E]different around here
[B]Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
[B]And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
[E]And just cause he's had a coupla cans
He thinks it's alright to [E]act like a dickhead
Chorus:
The same as before, but played twice:
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-6-6-4-----6-4----6-4-------------------------------------------------| A|-------6-4-----6------6-----------------6-6-4-4-----------------------| E|-----------------7------7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4---------7-4-4-4-4/3-3-3-3-3-3-| e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-6-6-4-----6-4----6-4-------------------------------------------------| A|-------6-4-----6------6-----------------6-6-4-4-----------------------| E|-----------------7------7-7-7-7-4-4-4-4---------7-4-4-4-4/3-3-3-3-3-3-|
Verse 3:
This includes the transition between chorus and verse
e|---2--------------------------------------| B|---4-2-2-2-2-0-0--------------------------| G|-4-4-------------1--1-1-1-1p0-0-0--0-0-0--| D|-4----------------------------------------| A|-2----------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------| e|----------------------------------------------------| B|-4-4--4-4-4--7-7-4--4-4-4--9-9-4--9/11-11-11-11-9---| G|-4-4------------------------------------------------| D|-4--------------------------------------------------| A|-2--------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------| e|----------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------| G|-4-4--4-4-4--6-4---6-4----4--4-4-4------------------| D|-6---------------6-----6--6--------5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-| A|----------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------|
The actual verse is the same as the other two -
[B]Well over there there's friends of mine
[B]What can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time
[E]And yeah they might overstep the line
But I just cannot get a[E]ngry in the same[B] way
[B]Not in the same way
Not in the same [E]way
Oh no, oh no [E]no
Solo/Outro:
This is the same as on the actual song, apart from the final chords, the actual song
plays GBe strings of an A7 E chords, then an E7 B chord:

Entirely preference which ending is used, or if you're feeling imaginative could
try playing both at the same time.
