Live, Aimee plays this in Bb (Capo 3rd fret). The live arrangement is for
(mainly) acoustic guitar. It's basically the same as above, but with picking
like this:


[Intro]:

3 bars (play once only, not like above):

First Bar:
G Em7 D F F(add2)
e--3-------------------------------------------2-2-2--------------------|
B--0----------------------------3-----3--------3-3-3----1-----1-----h-p-|
G--0------------0-----------0---0-----2--------2-2-2----2-----0----0-2-0|
D--0----------0-------------2---------0-----------------3-----3---------|
A-----------2-------2---------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------0---------------------------------------------------|
beats ^ ^ ^ ^

2nd Bar:
C Am7/B G D C
e--------------------------------3-3-3------------2-2-2-----------0-0-0|
B--------------------------------0-0-0------------3-3-2-----------1-1-1|
G-(0)----------sl---0------------0-0-0------------2-2-2-----------0-0-0|

B-------------1-1-1-------------1-1-1------------1-1-1------------1-1-1|
G-------------0-0-0-------------0-0-0------------0-0-0------------0-0-0|
D----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A--3----------------3-----------------3-----------------3--------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|
beats ^ ^ ^ ^

This is played as three 'phrases' G Em7 D F C G D C C C C C, so hit
the G in the second bar (Marked *) hard to make it sound like a new phrase.


Verse/Chorus

Chords as per album version. Picking is the root/bass note of each chord held
for about three-quarters of a beat followed by three quick strums of the top
three strings (like in the last bar of the intro of the live version).


Only other difference from the CD is trills on the C and F of each line of the
verse:


C F C
e -0---0--------1-------(0)--
B -1---1--------1---h-p-(1)--
G -0---0---h-p--2--0-2-0-----
D -2---2--0-2-0-3--------2---
A -3---3-----------------3---
E ---------------------------
. . . . . . habit
. . . . . . tragic
. . . . . . . have it . . .etc
