The reason the acoustic guitar part on the verses in this song is so
wonderful is because Neil limits the number of strings he plays to only
a few.  since this is so key, i've included *all* the chords for the
verses at the end.  take special note to which strings should not be
played at all (X).

The story behind the song

This song explores the compelling pull of temptation, so convincing that the songwriter's own wife believed he was cheating because of its lyrics. It's a deeply emotive and understated piece, characterized by sparse instrumentation in the verses that gives way to a lush, drawing chorus. The song's effectiveness lies in its simple yet masterful melody, enhanced by a synth-string orchestral sweep and the distinct jazz-brush finesse of the drums. It plays like a journey into a powerful, almost irresistible allure.
