I found a transcription of this song at Nevada, but it needed a capo. My
version doesn't. Also, my intro riff transcription is different.
Anyway, enjoy!

Someone requested this a week or so ago -- sorry, it took awhile to chart:

Another game....of putting things aside
As if we'll come....back to them sometime (same chords as
A brace of hope....a pride of innocence 1st verse)
And you would say....something has gone wrong

C G D C G D
Again, it seems we meet, in ...
C G D Em D A/C#bass
We always say, it won't be long, ...


C D Bm Em D/F#bass / C D Em D A/C#bass

(play above progression twice, with vocal 'ooh's and 'aay's)


C G D C G D
And again, it seems we meet, ...
C G D Em D Cadd9
We always say, it won't be long...
Em D Cadd9 Em C D Dsus4 D
Something's always wrong, ...


(play INTRO Tab, then verse progression twice to close)

----

That 'A/C#bass' chord is played like this: x4222x , or add the 'A'
bass note, like so: 54222x. Also, leading into the chorus, try a
variation of opening up the treble strings, like this: 542000.


Cool song -- hope you like my arrangement!
