Also, the recording itself is tuned down approx 1/4 step, so you'll

have to do the same if you wish to play along.

This is just the basic tab. There are a couple of octave fills, etc.,

but this will get the song going.

Guitar Chords are listed above the bass tabs and in conjunction with

the lyrics.

Intro:

Verse:

You are[[F#m]], my [[D]]fire [[A]],

The [[F#m]]one, [[D]]desire[[A]],

Believe[[F#m]], when[[D]] I [[A]]say,

[[F#m]]I want it [[E]]that [[A]]way

But we, are two worlds

apart, Can't reach to,

your heart, When you say,

That I want it that way

Chorus:

Tell me [[D]]why, (Ain't nothin' but a [[E]]heart[[F#m]]ache)

Tell me [[D]]why, (Ain't nothin' but a [[E]]mist[[F#m]]ake)

Tell me [[D]]why, I never wanna [[E]]hear you [[A]]say

[[F#m]]I want it [[E]]that [[A]]way

Verse: (Same as first verse)

Your one, desire,

Yes I know, it's too late,

But I want it that way

Chorus:

Tell me why, (Ain't nothin' but a heartache)

Tell me why, (Ain't nothin' but a mistake)

Tell me why, I never wanna hear you say

Same as first verse, then:

[[F#m]]I want it [[C#]]that way

Bridge:

[[F#m]]Now I can see that we're [[A]]fallin' apart,

>From the [[D]]way that it used to [[E]]be, (Yeah)

No [[F#m]]matter the distance, I [[A]] want you to know

That [[D]]deep down inside of [[E]]me...

You are, my fire,

The one, desire,

You are, You are, You are, You are...

Tell me [[E]]why, (Ain't nothin' but a [[F#]]mist[[G#m]]ake)

Tell me [[E]]why, I never wanna [[F#]]hear you [[B]]say

[[G#m]]I want it [[F#]]that [[B]]way

Tell me [[E]]why, Ain't nothin' but a [[F#]]heart[[G#m]]ache,

[[E]]Ain't nothin' but a [[F#]]mist[[G#m]]ake,
