Chords
1. The acoustic guitar is tuned down a whole step.
2. The chords shown below aren't necessarily the exact chord the rhythm guitar is playing, but fretting
the listed chords makes the picking pattern easier.
3. I randomly pick what I think I'm hearing. I tried to capture the pattern I "think" I'm picking.
This is my first attempt at writing/submitting tab. All critiques are welcome (good or bad).

[Verse]
She was a sometimes love
An every-now-and-then touch
That momentarily
Brought out the best in me
I didn't think that much of it
My heart can easily love it or leave it
Told myself I didn't need it
[Chorus]
And years have gone by
She's moved on, so have I
Or have I?
That part of my life
That chapter I thought I'd closed
I close my eyes, but she's not gone
Oh, why am I still holding on?
Sometimes, love hangs around a little too long
[Bridge]
I never thought a thing about the things I said to her
And her to me
Love was just a word and all our promises we never meant to keep
Or so I thought
She was a sometimes love
But sometimes, love hangs around a little too long
[Chorus]
And years have gone by
She's moved on, so have I
Or have I?
That part of my life
That chapter I thought I'd closed
I close my eyes, but she's not gone
Oh, why am I still holding on?
She was a sometimes love
But sometimes, love hangs around a little too long
Sometimes, love hangs around a little too long
