I have been wanting to play this awesome song but have yet to find a perfect
intro so I figured it out and tabbed it. Most of the chord work goes to
braden825, but I did make some major changes and simplified it. The song has
a capo on the 4th fret(If done in Standard Tuning) If you want to do
acoustic version, forego the intro and begin picking on the word "...go".
I also like to sing the end a Capella. Begin strumming at the Pre-Chorus.
All chords are relative to capo. The chords in parentheses are optional and
should be used if finger picking is too difficult or you are
using 2 guitars (One person picks while the other strums) ENJOY!

(G)
I swear that you dont have to go
(Dsus/F#)
I thought we could wait for the fireworks
(Em7)
I thought we could wait for the snow
(Cadd9)
To wash over Georgia and kill the hurt
(G)
I thought I could live in your arms
(Dsus/F#)
And spend every moment I had with you
(Em7)
Stay up all night with the stars
(Cadd9)
Confess all the faith that I had in you
PRE-CHORUS:
(Begin strumming)
Em7 Dsus/F# Cadd9
Too late, Im sure and lonely
G
Another night, another dream wasted on you
Em7 Dsus/F# Cadd9
Just be here now against me
G
You know the words so sing along for me baby
CHORUS:
G Dsus/F# Em7
For heaven's sake I know you're sorry
Cadd9
But you won't stop crying
Dsus/F# G
This anniversary may never be the same
Dsus/F# Em7
Inside I hope you know I'm dying
Cadd9
With my heart beside me
Dsus/F# Em7
In shattered pieces that may never be replaced
Dsus/F#
And if I died right now you'd never be the same

(G)
I thought with a month of apart
(Dsus/F#)
Together would find us an opening
(Cadd9)
And moonlight would provide the spark
(Cadd9)
And that I would stumble across the key
(Em7)
Or break down the door to your heart
(Dsus/F#)
Forever could see us not you and me
(G)
And youd help me out of the dark
And Id give my heart as an offering
PRE-CHORUS:
Em7 Dsus/F# Cadd9
Too late, Im sure and lonely
G
Another night, another dream wasted on you
Em7 Dsus/F# Cadd9
Just be here now against me

You know the words so sing along for me baby

(Em7)
How does he feel, how does he kiss?
(Dsus/F#)
How does he taste while he's on your lips?

How does he feel, how does he kiss?
