No playable tab notation detected in this song.

Note: This was originally posted by exploding robot. The change I made was in
the tuning and, consequently, in the instrumental (tabbed) parts. Of course,
chords move in position (one step ahead). The original user commented: "I wanted
to make this a more "playable" version for the song 'cause the bass is the main
structure of it."
*D5 is played with the 5th muted, so only D in octave will sound.

[Verse 1]
I think I feel a little Gmhurt,
My fists are turning coal to diFamonds,
Why no one told me so much Gmwork

Oh but the feelings ain't the Gmsame,
How some things never Fchange,

[Verse 1]

I think I feel a little hurt,

My fists are turning coal to diamonds,

Why no one told me so much work

Would all go into trying

Oh but the feelings ain't the same,

How some things never change,

Well nobody is perfect

And I knew better anyways

[Pre-Chorus] (Here I strike the chord open then palm mute the top note to get that bass sound.)
