I'm just going to identify these chords by their bass notes. It does NOT actually
the chord being played (most of them are just minors).
B G# E(1) Eb E(2) C# E(3)

B||--4----------0----4-----5-----5-----8---||
G||----------------------------------------||
D||-------6----------1-----2---------------||
A||--2---------------------------4-----7---||
E||-------4-----0--------------------------||
[riff]
The riff is just 3 chords that you arpeggiate.
C#sus2 : x46644
Some kind of E : x7644x (barre 4, use your pinky for the 7)
Bsus2 : x24422
E||------------------------------------|
B||----------4--------4--------2-------|
G||------------6--------4--------4-----|
D||-------6---------6--------4---------|
A||---2/4---------7--------2-----------|
E||------------------------------------|
Note: when you play the riff at the end of the song, the first time he slides 4/7 when
to the "E", the rest of the time there is no slide.

E(1)
It's gotten late and now I want to be alone.
E(1)
All of our friends were here, they all have gone home.
Eb E(2)
And here I sit on the front porch
E(3)
watching the drunks stumble forth into the night.
E(1)
"You gave me a heart attack, I did not see you there.
E(1)
I thought you had dissappeared so early away from here."
Eb E(2)
and this is the chance I never got
C# E(3)
to make a move, but we just talk about
[riff]
the people we've met in the last five years
[riff]
and will we remember them in ten more.
E(1)
I let you bum a smoke, you quit this winter past.
E(1)
I've tried twice before but like this, it just would not last
