I'm pretty sure I've got this right, I can only think that theres a couple of variations you could play around with through the verse and prechorus which are similar to the outro, eg: Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 E----------------------------|----------------------------| B--------0-------------0-----|--------0-------------0-----| G----------------------------|-------------------------0--| D-----2-------------2--------|-----2-------------2--------| A-------------2--3--------2--|-------------2--3-----------| E--0-------------------------|--0-------------------------| G6 Cmaj7 G6 Cmaj7 E----------------------------|----------------------------| B--------0-------------0-----|--------0-------------0-----| G----------------------------|-------------------------0--| D-----0-------------2--------|-----0-------------2--------| A-------------2--3--------2--|-------------2--3-----------| E--3-------------------------|--3-------------------------| This isnt the same in every verse and it changes through each line as to what is actually played, so i havnt included in my tab. It sounds good without, but if you want to play about with it, the above should be a start for variation.. Feel free to comment; corrections and advice are welcome as i'd like to get it to a tee myself. Thanks guys :) James.. TF<3
