For one thing it's fast,\r\nthere's lots of chord changes, they're mostly barres, and it modulates up a half step\r\nevery verse.\r\n\r\nI submitted two versions of it, one with the modulations and one with every verse in C, \r\nbut alas this site rejected it because they don't want two ways of playing a song in one \r\nsubmission. Oh well, easy enough to transpose all to C if you want an easier version.\r\n\r\nAny chord I put in [brackets] means it's optional.\r\n\r\nI play all my dim chords as a movable shape. For example G#dim is 4x343x (and barre the\r\n3rd fret)\r\n\r\nOn each verse the \"Dear\" starts on a flatted 5th note. Very odd and nice to set the new key.\r\nCan play a B7b5 (7x786x) there to get fancy, but very optional. \r\n\r\nNot sure about the second chord (during \"gotta understand\"), I've seen it written as B/C,\r\nbut I can't make that sound right.
