CHORUS
ok this is where it gets hard. My friend whinged
that this part was just a pile of weird chords
juxtaposed on top of one another so he did his best
it has 2 parts

when nothing is sung its:
e----------------0---0-0--0-0--0-0---
b----------------3---3-3--3-3--3-3---
G--2--2--4--4----4---4-4--4-4--4-4-------
D--2--2--2--2----2---2-2--2-2--2-2-------
A--0--0--2--2----2---2-2--2-2--2-2-------
E----------------0---0-0--0-0--0-0--

when paul sings "i'm going to leave":
(your pretty well sliding between the chords coz
the changes are quick)
e--0-0------------0--0-0--0-0---------
b--3-3--7--8--12--4--4-4--4-4----------
G--4-4--7--9--12--3--3-3--3-3----------
D--2-2--6--7--10--2--2-2--2-2----------
A--2-2--x--x--x---2--2-2--2-2----------
E--0-0--0--0--0---0--0-0--0-0----------

POST CHORUS
this is where the chords get real funky,
damn paul and his huge hands (still its probably
not exactly how he plays it but it sounds correct)
e--0-----0-----0----0----|-(finish on)---
b--9-----10----8----5----|---0-------
G--9-----9-----9----7----|---0------
D--11----12----10---7----|------------
