A-------------------------------------------- E-------------------------------------------- Still ruins her makeup I never wanted... Notes: - You can see that the Verse repeats. The chord patterns are: A G, F# E, B A, E D, and this is played twice. - I separated the Outro because it doesn’t follow the pattern. You’d expect to play A G at that point. - I don’t usually play all the strings I’ve indicated here. I find just playing the last two strings sounds good enough.
