This song has a capo on the third fret. In order to keep things easy, I will name the as if the capo is the nut of the neck. ex)what is considered c minor will now be called minor. There are a few things to remember for playing this song. First)There is an alternating bass line between the root of a chord and the string above ex)for a c chord alternate the lowest c note with a g. Second)There is a walkdown at the end of the intro and chorus that starts with a c add and walks the c note down to a b then the chord changes to an a minor. The catch is the c add nine isn't played the usual way. You don't add your fourth finger to any string instead take off the finger you have on the d string. Making the walkdown look like this Amin Cadd9 (walkdown) Amin She was in over her head He had a bullet proof smile He had money to burn Just like jewelry He never gave but he got He's not the kind of wheel This is one business in the Problem at all Everything that is left Soon every one you know Amin Dmin Amin Dmin What's more romantic Now they're all watching the sea Her roots were sweet
