Author's Note: Hey, this is my first tab. I know for damn sure I did pretty
well, especially for a newbie tabber. This is one of my favorite songs, so I
decided to tab it. Thanks and credits go to WingNutt and Johan. I learned these
songs from their tabs first, but they still had a few errors. I pretty much fixed
the solo and the chords you play at the end of the pre-chorus, and the intro is
right. I also decided to add chords to the bottom so it would be easier for you
guys to learn. If I made a mistake or a typo anywhere, please correct me. Hope
you all enjoy.

===============================================================================
*g5*
Days swiftly come and go. Please take note that in the
I'm dreaming of her verse, you play the g5 that only
She's seeing other guys involves the first E string and
Emotions they stir the B string.
The sun is gone.
The nights are long
And I am left while the tears fall.
*G5*
Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
*E5*
Do you know what it feels like,
*C5*
being alone?
*B5* *C5*
I'll find someone new
*G5* *D5*
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
*E5* *C5*
My heart is crushed by a former love
*G5* *D5* *E5*
Can you help me find a way
*C5*
To carry on again.
*g5*
Wish cast into the sky
I'm moving on
Sweet beginnings do arise
She knows I was wrong
The notes are old,
They bend, they fold
and so do I to a new love.
*G5*
Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
*E5*
Do you know what it feels like,
*C5*
being alone?
*B5* *C5*
I'll find someone new
*G5* *D5*
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
*E5* *C5*
My heart is crushed by a former love
*G5* *D5* *E5*
Can you help me find a way
*C5*
To carry on again.
*G5-G5* *G5-G5*
Bury me
*B5-Hold* *C5-Hold*
(you thought your problems were gone)
*G5-G5* *G5-G5*
Carry me
*C5-16 times*
(away. away, away...)
*G5* *D5* This part you play six times,
Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of gradually fading out. There is
*E5* *C5* also a solo being played in the
My heart is crushed by a former love background, but you need a second
*G5* *D5* *E5* guitarist for that.
Can you help me find a way
*C5*
To carry on again.
