    The guitars both repeat their parts, and the string section
  • adds these two measures over the E5 chord
    |--------------------------------------------------|

    The second time, guitar 2 plays this instead of the last measure,
    and continues into the verse:
  • |---------------------------------------------------|-------|
    |---------------------------------------------------|-------|
    |---------------------------------------------------|-------|
  • |--6b(7)r6b(7)r6b(7)r6b(7)r6b(7)r6b(7)r6b(7)r6b(7)--|--2/4--|

    Verse: (chords played by organ)
    D A E
  • She comes to me at night when I'm sleeping
    She comes to me when I'm alone
    She comes to me She holds my head when I'm crying
  • She comes to me She shuts my eyes
    She brings me home
     
  • Chorus:
    Guitar 1 plays the same E5 A progression it did in the intro;
    The string section plays the same thing it did in the intro;
  • Guitar 2 plays the same part it played in the intro, except that it
    omits that first chord that swells up over the E5 chord, and it
    replaces the last measure with:
  • |--4b(5)r4b(5)r4b(5)r4--|

    But I'm not sleeping anymore... anymore

    Verse:
    She tells me when you look at me She tells me when you're lying
  • She tells me when you talk about me She lays me on the floor
    She tells me when you're whispering She lies beside me naked
    She tells me when you laugh at me and she locks all the doors

  • Instead of the last measure of the repeat of the chorus, the song
    moves into the bridge:
     
  • E5 E5maj7

  •  
    The string section plays the high note of the first three chords,
    and then plays a little G#-A trill over the A chord
  •  
     
    E5 E5maj7
  • 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 a.m.
    All alone again
    D A
  • But I've been through all this shit before
    Spend my nights in self-defense
    Cry about my innocence
  • But I ain't all that innocent anymore
     
    Interlude:
  • After the third measure of the repeat, the song changes to this:
    The timing is chaotic, to say the least, so listen carefully for
    exactly when these notes are sounded. Guitar 2 plays the part tabbed
  • out, and guitar 1 just plays the chords indicated.
     
     
  • The strings play an E5 chord, just a high E and B note for the
    next 5 measures.
     
  • A5

  • |------------------------------------------------------------|
     
    From this point, until the end of the interlude, the string section
  • takes the notes from the D5add6 and Aadd9 chords and plays them
    whenever guitar 1 isn't.
