Author's Note: Hey, this is my first tab. I know for damn sure I did pretty
well, especially for a newbie tabber. This is one of my favorite songs, so I
decided to tab it. Thanks and credits go to WingNutt and Johan. I learned these
songs from their tabs first, but they still had a few errors. I pretty much fixed
the solo and the chords you play at the end of the pre-chorus, and the intro is
right. I also decided to add chords to the bottom so it would be easier for you
guys to learn. If I made a mistake or a typo anywhere, please correct me. Hope
you all enjoy.

*g5*
Days swiftly come and go. Please take note that in the
I'm dreaming of her verse, you play the g5 that only
She's seeing other guys involves the first string and
Emotions they stir the string.
The sun is gone.
The nights are long
And I am left while the tears fall.
*[G5*]
Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
*[E5*]
Do you know what it feels like,
*[C5*]
being alone?
*[B5*] *[C5*]
I'll find someone new
*[G5*] *[D5*]
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
*[E5*] *[C5*]
My heart is crushed by a former love
*[G5*] *[D5*] *[E5*]
Can you help me find a way
*[C5*]
To carry on again.
*g5*
Wish cast into the sky
I'm moving on
Sweet beginnings do arise
She knows I was wrong
The notes are old,
They bend, they fold
and so do I to a new love.
*[G5*]
Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
*[E5*]
Do you know what it feels like,
*[C5*]
being alone?
*[B5*] *[C5*]
I'll find someone new
*[G5*] *[D5*]
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
*[E5*] *[C5*]
My heart is crushed by a former love
*[G5*] *[D5*] *[E5*]
Can you help me find a way
*[C5*]
To carry on again.
*-[G5*] *-[G5*]
Bury me
*-Hold* *-Hold*
(you thought your problems were gone)
*-[G5*] *-[G5*]
Carry me
*-16 times*
(away. away, away...)
*[G5*] *[D5*] This part you play six times,
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of gradually fading out. There is
*[E5*] *[C5*] also a solo being played in the
My heart is crushed by a former love background, but you need a second
*[G5*] *[D5*] *[E5*] guitarist for that.
Can you help me find a way
*[C5*]
To carry on again.
