 [chorus] 
  
 [break] 
  
 [repeat intro] 
  
 [bridge]: 
  
      Gm            Bb            Cm 
 I am riding on the bus  I am working at my job 
  
       F                          Gm 
 I am calling out your name I am standing at your door 
  
       Gm              Bb            Cm 
 I am counting out the money   I am carrying my child 
  
      F                                  Gm 
 I am coming down your driveway     I am giving you a chance 
  
 [chorus] 
  
 x is strum, but mute the strings at the neck 
 h is a hammer on 
 p is a pull off 
 / is a SLIDE UP throughout this tab- there no chords with non-root notes 
 in the bass, so "Gm/Bb" is Gm at the 3rd fret, then slide up to Bb at the 
 6th and NOT Gm with Bb in the bass, same goes for Bb/Cm and F/Gm

 it all in. Here's a couple of the main picked parts(* and + in the 
 chorus), if you want the full monty in tab then send me a mail.
