Tab sites are so full of complete garbage tabs in general, but until now I've never felt compelled to do anything about it. But I love this song too much.
And becase I want to cover it with my new band so I had to figure it out myself.
The guitar part is pretty much all all open or barre chords or E, Em, A, or Am form. Formatting may be screwy since my browser is using a proportional
font for some reason.
Intro: C#m B E (4x)
(I think there's a little pull-off thing in the E chord for a moment of E7)
Verse:
C#m B E
Let's get just a little too proud
C#m B
That's the way it seems in a crowd but it's
E G#
not quite the same
C#m F#m
So you think that you'll never get burned
B E
What are you doing waiting for your turn
F#m
Wait a minute...
A B
So is it that we're really on trial
G# A F#m
But nothing's ever gonna change our style
The rest of the song proceeds pretty much similarly. The extended "wait a minute" chorus every other time hangs on F#m while the line repeats the first
few times, but pick up the index finger off the low E for that low riff (0-2-0-2); then goes:
A
Wait a minute
E F#m A B
Wait a minute
The pretty little "solo" which stands in place of the first half of the second verse is just the same chords with a little goofing on the B string; pull
your middle finger off in the middle of the C#m chord for a second, then add your pinky similarly during the B chord so it does a sort of
C#m-C#9-C#m-C#9-B-Bsus4-B-Bsus4-E, then just hit a little extra gain and play and hold a single G# note (6th fret on D string or equivalent) where the G#
chord is. Then back into "Thought you said I'd never get hurt" (C#m-F#m-B-E, etc.)
The ending is the same as the intro and ends on C#m.
