Chords

Hello! This is my first tab. I am merely combining what I've learned from videos and the (limited) tabs across the internet, into a simple chord sheet for people to get the jist of the song. To figure out the rhythm, listen to the song. Hope you enjoy! (Side Note: When I play, I use B5, C#5, D#5, E5. Whether you use these or not is up to you. I feel it sounds better "my" way) This:
e|---0-------0-------0-------0---|
B|-----0-------0-------0-------0-|
G|-------------------------------|
D|-2-----2/4-----4/6-----6/1-----|
A|-------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------|
is played over the first four lines of the song. It is played again during the song, so I will refer to it as IR1 (Intro Riff 1) IR1 I fell asleep last night (I fell asleep last night) IR1 But I woke up too late (I woke up too late) IR1 And everything I loved (Everything I loved) IR1 Oh I begin to hate
E                           A
I know I sound repetitive

                      E
Cause I'm repeating myself

                      B
And I'm competitive

                          E
I want you all by yourself

                  A                  E
And that alone is just the problem

(E)
I've got these woes

  B
I just can't solve them

           E                     A
If I could gather up the nerve

           E              B
I'd put my feelings into words

         E                    A                     E
And if I weren't so young, or stupid, or restless

                    B
I might be able to just soon forget this

C#      B       A                  C#        D#       E
Just forget this, just forgive this, just forget this

E          A             C#
Please just forget me

         B       A
When I'm out all alone on the east coast

E           A            C#
Please don't forgive me

            B        A
When you're home all alone

                      E     A
And you need me most

                         E     B
Oh, and you need me most
Yeah, when you need me most E A E B
          E                  A
Oh, if I only had the heart

             E                   B
To find out exactly who you are
(You know I'd try now)
    E
But it's just fine

    A
No you can't save me

        E
It's no fault but mine

B
Please just blame me

           E                     A
If I could gather up the nerve

           E              B
I'd put my feelings into words

         E                    A                     E
And if I weren't so young, or stupid, or restless

                    B
I might be able to just soon forget this

C#      B       A                  C#        B        A
Just forget this, just forgive this, just forget this
