[Verse 1] (Same as above throughout the verses)
Bm                        F#aug
  You will find no wicked way in me

Em              F#
  Look me over, you will see

Bm                  F#aug
  You will find, no weary a change

Em                          F#
  I'm worn and wounded, but still the same
[Chorus]
G                  F#m
  Wooooaaaah oh oh oh

F#                    Bm     A 
  Let me tell you the truth

G            F#m
  I love you more

F#                    Bm     A  G F#
  Than the sins of my youth.
[Verse 2]
Bm                      F#aug
  When the past gets up in your face

Em               F#
  Memories slide out of place

Bm                           F#aug
  All those things that were hidden away

Em                    F#
  Ain’t so bad in the light of day
[Chorus]
G                  F#m
  Wooooaaaah oh oh oh

F#                    Bm     A 
  Let me tell you the truth

G            F#m
  I love you more

F#                    Bm     A  G F#
  Than the sins of my youth.
[Solo] Em F# Em F# D A G F# [Verse 3]
Bm                        F#aug
Say you love me wish you, liked me more

Em            F#
I'm no Angel, that's for sure

Bm                       F#aug
Said you forgave me each time I was caught, 

Em                        F#
But you still paint me as something I'm not
[Chorus]
G                  F#m
  Wooooaaaah oh oh oh

F#                    Bm     A 
  Let me tell you the truth

G            F#m
  I love you more

F#                    Bm     A
  Than the sins of my youth.

G            F#m
  I love you more

F#                    Bm     A  G F#
  Than the sins of my youth.
[Outro] F# Bm Notes ===== Tab in the chorus follows a similar sort of pattern:
  G             F#m           F#              Bm   A (rake both)
e|-------------|-------------|---------2----|-2----0----|
B|-------3-----|-------2-----|-------2------|-3----2----|
G|----4--------|----2--------|----3---------|-4----2----|
D|-------------|-------------|--------------|-4----2----|
A|-------------|-------------|--------------|-2----0----|
E|-3-----------|-2-----------|-2------------|-----------|

  G (rake)   F#m           F#             Bm   A (rake both)
e|-3-------|-------------|---------2----|-2----0----|
B|-3-------|-------2-----|-------2------|-3----2----|
G|-4-------|----2--------|----3---------|-4----2----|
D|-5-------|-------------|--------------|-4----2----|
A|-5-------|-------------|--------------|-2----0----|
E|-3-------|-2-----------|-2------------|-----------|

  G (Rake)   F# (Strums)
e|-3-------|-2---2---2-2--|
B|-3-------|-2---2---2-2--|
G|-4-------|-3---3---3-3--|
D|-5-------|-4---4---4-4--|
A|-5-------|-4---4---4-4--|
E|-3-------|-2---2---2-2--|
If just strumming instead of picking the notes, I think it sounds better to go F#m to F#7.
