Version 1 Version 2
            First Tab, based on Noted's Tab. Definitely 100% correct. All goes out to the hard 
scene, keep it fun guys.

This is exactly like the other Version, just for those of you who do not have a capo at 
I personally think the other one is a little bit easier to play and sounds somewhat cleaner.

Recommended Chords:

Gm (3 5 5 3 3 3)
Cm7(3 3 5 3 4 3)
D  (2 5 4 2 3 2)
D# (3 6 5 3 4 3) cleaner, and a lot easier to get to the D#
F  (1 3 3 2 1 1)
G# (4 6 6 5 4 4)
Bb (6 8 8 7 6 6)
Bb*(1 1 3 3 3 1) optional

Gm           Cm7

So put a spanner in the works,

D            D#    F

of your mind

Gm           Cm7

It's easier to work,

D            D#    F

But I don't mind,

Gm           Cm7

You're better in defeat so,

D            D#    F

Just don't try

Gm           Cm7

To take away all the things

D            D#          D#

So dear in my life.

I have to break down all

Bb                       Cm7   Bb*

the corners of the world.

G#           D#

Don't heap this praise on me,

Bb                       Cm7   Bb*

I know I don't deserve it.

G#           D#

But what's all of this I see?

Bb                       Cm7   Bb*

Yeah you're leaving right beside me,

G#          D#

And I miss you, and I need you.

Bb          Bb

I do.

But don't go, take my love,

                              Cm   Bb*

I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.

G#          Cm7          Bb

Don't go, take my love,

                              Cm   Bb *

I won't let you, I'm saying please don't go.

(G#    Cm7  Bb)

Well leave your lover now,

it's your turn.

And see your mother now,

D           D#     F

I hope she's okay.

You're better in defeat so,

D           D#     F

let's not try

To take away all the things

so dear in our lives.

All of my life,

All of my life,

                   Bb

trying to hold a hand.
