[Intro]

Slide down from the 15th Fret on the A string into the Csus

, ,   X 2

-Hammer on the Csus2 twice and the Fm - listen to the song for the rythym 

[Verse] (Same Chords as the intro) 
                    
If you lead when you're standing
                                    
Every where you'd go you will bleed where you land and
              
Everyone will know
                           
If you need a hand surely you will know
                                        
It was me who was standing and filling for your show

[Pre Chorus]

                                             
I been seeing you and me in a space that can only grow

Everyone knows

[Chorus]

       
I gave you everything
          
You got the best of me
                   
So hey hey what a shame
       
I was the only one
                    
Who didn't know what you had done
                 
hey hey what a shame
all you ever do is blame

[Pre Verse] 

Intro/Verse Chords With hammer ons on the notes above the bar and a slide
from the 1st to the third Fret on the A string (5th) on the Csus - can be a
stretch - can do the same C on the 8th fret for this part and just slide
from the 6th Fret to the 8 on the E string. 

, ,   (with slide X 2)
, , ,  into Verse

[Verse 2] 
             
If you fall for illusions
              
Pause it on the frame
                 
You will draw the conclusion
                    
That everyone's the same
                   
I was a fool from the get go
                       
And you would think I'd see
                     
All the things I should let go
                      
And things that I don't need anymore

[Pre Chorus]

                                             
I been seeing you and me in a space that can only grow

Everyone knows

[Chorus]

       
I gave you everything
          
You got the best of me
                   
So hey hey what a shame
       
I was the only one
                    
Who didn't know what you had done
                 
hey hey what a shame
all you ever do is blame

[Solo]

   (two measures of the ) X 3
  (two measures each) then end to the breakdown on a Csus

Play the Csus hammered on on every 8th or so during the breakdown solo
(about 4 times) and finish with it at the end of the solo then go strait
into the chorus

[Chorus X 2] No  at the end of the first - just do a Csus instead 

       
I gave you everything
          
You got the best of me
                   
So hey hey what a shame
       
I was the only one
                    
Who didn't know what you had done
                 
hey hey what a shame


       
I gave you everything
          
You got the best of me
                   
So hey hey what a shame
       
I was the only one
                    
Who didn't know what you had done
                 
hey hey what a shame
all you ever do is blame


[Outro] Same as the Pre Verse - Hammer on the Csus and  and do the 2
slides up to the 3rd fret on the A string (5th) on the Csus in the middle -
End on the Csus

Csus, , , Csus (with the 5th string slides)

Thats it!
