First tab I've done, by ear. Just couldn't not have my all time favourite song tabbed out. It sounds right to
me, but I'm Sure there's room for improvement. If you want to play in standard tuning, transpose the song -2
and use Capo 1st fret.
[Verse]
So it Dturned out that my record collection knows me better than Ayou do
I guess it sounds like a Emhornby book to Gyou or maybe just pathAetic
Well, Dnow you're gone, now i'm free to do whatever i wanna Ado
So maybe i'll toast Emyou and fall aslGeep to the tv stAatic
    BmIf your smile dies awGay now
Then i don't care
    BmCause i can be mysAelf now
[Chorus]
You Dcan't destroy
A Bmwretched boy
ANothing to believe in
GGod knows i don't give in
You Dwon't destroy
This Bmwretched boy
ACold but I ain't freezing
GI will never give in, yeah
[Verse]
And i'm Dsure i didn't ask for too much, i only asked for a Alifetime
Out there in the Emsunshine and by Gnow i know that means withAout you
And i Dcracked, i cracked, i cracked but you couldn't Abreak me
Did you think you'd Emmake me Gshallow just like Ayou (like you!)?
    BmIf your smile dies aGway now
Then i don't care
    BmCause i can be myAself now
[Chorus]
You Dcan't destroy
A Bmwretched boy
ANothing to believe in
GGod knows i don't give in
You Dwon't destroy
This Bmwretched boy
I'm Acold but i ain't freezing
GI will never give in
[Bridge]
  BmGet, get, get over yourGself now
Cause i don't care
  BmJust, just like i got Aover you
AYeah
[Chorus]
You Dcan't destroy
A Bmwretched boy
ANothing to believe in
GGod knows i don't give in
You Dwon't destroy
This Bmwretched boy
I'm Acold but i ain't freezing
And Gi will never give in
You Dcan't destroy
A Bmwretched boy
ANothing to believe in
GGod knows i don't give in
You Dwon't destroy
This Bmgood old boy
Cause Ai will never give in
GNo i just won't give in
