        I've tried best I can to transcribe the piano part for this song for

guitar.  It's a pretty smooth sweet song to play.  The interlude is described

without tab, unfortuantely I have too much homework to do to tab that out,

but it's pretty simple.

        The interlude (with is also the ending) is simply alternating between

the C and G chords.  Finger pick them out in a similar fashion as above.



Second Verse:



I want somebody who cares

for me passionately

with every thought and with every breath

someone who'll help me see things in a different light

all the things i detest i will almost like

I don't want to be tied to anyones strings

I'm carefully trying to stay clear of those things

but when I'm asleep, i want somebody

who will put their arms around me kiss me tenderley

though things like this, make me sick

in a case like this

I'll get away with it
