The other tab didnt sound right, this is how i think howie actually plays it. The 
picking pattern is pretty much play the top few strings with your thumb and the 
bottom ones with your finger... it is easy to figire out when you listen to it.
Capo 3
Intro:
F-C-Am-G  
Verse:
FWe had it all we were, Cyoung lovers, we were fAmull of trust and Gfaith
We were dead set on makin' it last forever, forever and a day.
I recall it was fall last year when, it started to die.
You stand still as the temperature kills, the summer strokes that were keeping it alive.
Pre-chorus:
DmThe day got Amcolder so I hGeld you closer, Dmin an eAmffort to savGe us from time,
Almost like the wind came and ruined the spark and left us in the dark.

I'm no lDmonger what Amyou reqCuire.
Verse:
See, I still feel you at night, turning in the sheets when I turn out the light
It's how it goes, the ghost of your first love wont ever leave you til the day that you die
Pre-chorus:
I wont ever live down leaving her behind even if the choice was the right one
It was a good thing staring me right in the face but I turned and ran away.
Chorus:
I coulda told you that I loved you and stay,
around to rekindle the fire but I was late
on my return and now you've lost all faith.
Cause I am a liar,
I'm no longer what you require.

on my return and now you've lost all faith.
And I am a liar,

around to rekindle the fire but I was late
on my return and now you've lost all faith.
