Hello All,

interpretation of it down. Here it is, questions or comments to:

your own thing in C minor and you'll get close.

[Intro]
Slide down from the 15th Fret on the A string into the Csus
Csus4, Fm, A#sus Csus4 X 2
-Hammer on the Csus2 twice and the Fm - listen to the song for the rythym
[Verse] (Same Chords as the intro)
If you lead when you're standing
Every where you'd go you will bleed where you land and
Everyone will know
If you need a hand surely you will know
It was me who was standing and filling for your show
[Pre Chorus]
I been seeing you and me in a space that can only grow
Everyone knows
[Chorus]
I gave you everything
You got the best of me
So hey hey what a shame
I was the only one
Who didn't know what you had done
hey hey what a shame
all you ever do is blame
[Pre Verse]
Intro/Verse Chords With hammer ons on the notes above the bar and a slide
from the 1st to the third Fret on the A string (5th) on the Csus - can be a
stretch - can do the same C on the 8th fret for this part and just slide
from the 6th Fret to the 8 on the E string.
Csus4, Fm, A#sus Csus4 (with slide X 2)
Csus4, Fm, A#sus, Csus4 into Verse
[Verse 2]
If you fall for illusions
Pause it on the frame
You will draw the conclusion
That everyone's the same
I was a fool from the get go
And you would think I'd see
All the things I should let go
And things that I don't need anymore
[Pre Chorus]
I been seeing you and me in a space that can only grow
Everyone knows
[Chorus]
I gave you everything
You got the best of me
So hey hey what a shame
I was the only one
Who didn't know what you had done
hey hey what a shame
all you ever do is blame
[Solo]
Fm Csus4 G (two measures of the G) X 3
A#sus G (two measures each) then end to the breakdown on a Csus
Play the Csus hammered on on every 8th or so during the breakdown solo
(about 4 times) and finish with it at the end of the solo then go strait
into the chorus
[Chorus X 2] No G at the end of the first - just do a Csus instead
I gave you everything
You got the best of me
So hey hey what a shame
I was the only one
Who didn't know what you had done
hey hey what a shame
I gave you everything
You got the best of me
So hey hey what a shame
I was the only one
Who didn't know what you had done
hey hey what a shame
all you ever do is blame
[Outro] Same as the Pre Verse - Hammer on the Csus and Fm and do the 2
slides up to the 3rd fret on the A string (5th) on the Csus in the middle -
End on the Csus
Csus4, Fm, A#sus, Csus4 (with the 5th string slides)
Csus4, Fm, A#sus, Csus4
Thats it!
Peace
