I kinda have 2 versions that have been cobbled together from other peoples tabs
and videos so I really cannot take credit at all for any of these whatsoever,
they're just everything I've seen put into some versions.
The first one is pretty fool proof :) Fiddle around with a capo if you want to, it works well on 3
Verse/Intro

Basically play an Am and a C but just plucking those strings and then at the
chorus play Am, C and G:
C Am
With that skipping rope, the trampoline
G
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
C Am
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
G
The carelessnes of running away
Mute the G here
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed etc..
For the "I don't own my clothes but I own my mind etc.." bit, play the tabby bit
above but all the strings shown together like:
C [XXX01X]
Am[XXX21X]
And only pluck them once:)
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/e/ellie-goulding/228159.html ]
C C Am Am
I don't own my clothes but i own my mind
C C
And it's not what you've lost
Am Am
But it's what you find. etc...
The second version, I think, is a bit better sounding :)
|------4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4--4--0--|

At the chorus play E and a retarded Am [X06650] so it goes like this:
E
With that skipping rope, the trampoline
Am
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
E
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
Am
The carelessnes of running away
Mute the Am here
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed etc..
Similarly to the first version play the strings that are pressed down in the chords:
E [X221XX]
Am [XX665X]
E E Am Am
I don't own my clothes but i own my mind
E E
And it's not what you've lost
Am Am
But it's what you find. Etc.
I know this all may be a bit confusing, so I really do apologise!!
Hopefully it is helpful though:)
I have a few other sh!ttier versions so facebook message me for those if you want
them or indeed need help in understanding this :/
