Chords by: Mark Bettis (JJY515@mgvax.ulst.ac.uk)


Notes:

Verse: The F C Bb hammer on the chords you can do the Peter buck
jangles using these chord shapes but he goes back to F from Bb before
Beginning the next F C Bb progression.

Chorus: Use strummed chords, not Buck-esque jangles, and unlike the verse
section, the Bb's do go jangle back to F before beginning the next F C Bb
phrase

You don't know how you move me, deconstruct me, and consume me, I'm all
used up, I'm out of luck, I am starstruck, By something in your eyes.
That is keeping my hope alive. - Matthew Sweet
