"The First Single (Cause A Scene)" Interventions + Lullabies This is how to play the album version of The Format's "The First Single"; this is exactly how the song is played live, as well. There is no need for a capo. This is how I play the song, also, so I wrote the tab out and then played it again just to make sure it sounds good -- it does. I included all chords/lyrics, because the verses and choruses don't play out exactly the same each time, and when I'm learning a song, I don't like to read a lazy tab. Enjoy, this song is not difficult for a beginner to learn. (Note, you'll easily be able to tell if your guitar is in tune with this song's intro: the fifth fret on B and the open E note should ring in harmony, obviously.) Intro:

     C#m            A     E      C#m             A        E
Well do you want to fall apart?  I can't stop if you cant start

C#m                                          A
What's the point in going around when it's a straight line baby,

  E
A straight line down

         C#m            A      E      C#m      A       E
