Intro- there is a bass part for this, but standard 6-string guitars can't go low enough.
So, in a key higher it's (relative to capo):
e---------------------------------|
B---------------------------------|
G---------------------------------|
D-0-0-0-0-------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
A---------3-3-3-------------------|
E---------------------------------|
And then for the second time the IntroVerse is played, you can switch to:
e---------------------------------|
B---------------------------------|
G---------------------------------|
D-0-0-0-0-------3-3-3-3-3---------|
A---------3-3-3-----------1-1-1-1-|
E---------------------------------|
OR EVEN MIX IT UP WITH THIS:
e---------------------------------|
B---------------------------------|
G---------------------------------|
D-0-0-0-0-------------------------|
A---------3-3-3-3-----------------|
E-----------------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|
whatever sounds good to you, yo. you're the one playing the song. (the last two versions
aren't even IN the Intro really,but they sound okay).
There was this cool, cool girl
She was about your age
She kind of had your smile
She kind of had your face

ChorusDmC
She wanted to be my lover
FA#
But my heart was with another and
DmC
Yeah I really wish that we could be friends
FA#
But I know I'm never gonna get you back again
DmC
I just wish that you would answer the phone
FBDmCFA#
'Cause, I could really do with talking to you right now
Verse 1
there is a little guitar part throughout this that i tabbed to the best of my ability
(which is not very good, so feel free to correct me):
e-----5-----3-----------------|
B---6---6--------5------------|
G-7-------5--------2-----2-3--|
D-----------------------------|
A-----------------------------|
E-----------------------------|
DmCFA#
Another girl broke my heart; it hurt

FA#
So now I'm scarred
DmC
I look up into the sky and
FA#DmCFA#
I wish that I could fly, high
Verse 2 (Bridge?)
another guitar part. this is a very basic version of it, repeat the notes a couple time
if you want it to sound profesh:
e----------------------------|
B----------------------------|
G---------------2-----3--3-2-|
D-0----3-------------3-------|
A-------3-----3--------------|
E----------------------------|
Oh yeah, and there are a couple of bends and effects used within the guitar parts, but I
am not profesh enough to tab them. My apologies.
DmC
Sister, sister
FA#
Well, don't ya know how much I miss ya?
DmC

B---6---6--------5------------|
G-7-------5--------2-----2-3--|
D-----------------------------|
A-----------------------------|
E-----------------------------|
DmCFA#
It's not fair to watch you walk away like this
DmCFA#
I just wish that I could get one more kiss
DmCFA#
But you gave it, you gave it to another
DmCFA#
And it's not fair to me to trust ya
Verse 4:

e----------------------------|
B----------------------------|
G---------------2-----3--3-2-|
D-0----3-------------3-------|
A-------3-----3--------------|
E----------------------------|
DmCFA#
Being ripped away from you, is like being ripped out of a room
DmCFA#
I'm sorry, is that too dramatic? I should just be far more placid
DmC
Well blah-blah, blah-blah, me myself and I
FA#DmCFA#
I'm so funny, oh my god, ha ha
Chorus:
