STRUM PATTERN: DUD…the timing is 3/4…listen to the song to get it perfect :P
 
intro: C#m7/E | E | B11/E | B11/E | (x2)
**note: the chord progression of C#m7/E, E, B11/E for 2 bars is the same for the
whole song…so wherever you see B11/E you strum that chord for 2 bars
 
C#m7/E        E             B11/E
She can't tell me that all of the love songs
 
           C#m7/E   E  B11/E
 have been written,   'cause she's never been in
 
love with you before.
 
C#m7/E | E | B11/E | B11/E | x2
 
C#m7/E           E           B11/E
Your skin smells lovely like sandalwood.
 
C#m7/E       E          B11/E
        Your hair falls soft like animals.
 C#m7/E            E     B11/E
I'm tryin' to keep cool, but everyone likes you.
 
| C#m7/E | E | B11/E | B11/E | A | A | A | A |
 
C#m7/E    E        B11/E
I want to kiss the back of your neck,
 
    C#m7/E      E                B11/E
the top of your spine where your hair hits,
 
    C#m7/E       E              B11/E
and gnaw on your fingertips and fall asleep,
 
     C#m7/E       E      B11/E
I'll talk you to sleep.
 
A
But I'll be the one, I will have chosen.
 
C#m7/E        E          B11/E
I'm tryin' to keep cool, but everyone here likes
 
     C#m7/E      E        B11/E
you, I'm not the only one.
 
C#m7/E           E           B11/E
Your skin smells lovely like sandalwood.
 
C#m7/E       E          B11/E
        Your hair falls soft like animals.
 
    C#m7/E       E             B11/E
and nothing else matters to me.
 
| A | A | A | A |
 
 
C#m7/E        E             B11/E
She can't tell me that all of the love songs
 
 
           C#m7/E   E  B11/E
 have been written,   'cause she's never been in
                      C#m7/E       E      B11/E
love with you before… in love with you before.
 
C#m7/E
Your hand,
 
E       B11/E (strum once, let ring!)
so hot,
 
burns a hole in my
 
C#m7/E | E | B11/E (strum once, let ring!)
hand.
 
I wanted to show you.
 
 
**WHEW! That was my first tab ever! I admit my guitar instructor helped me a bit…
but hey! That means its right :P It sounds pretty damn good when played against
the real song…yay! The transitions between chords aren't perfect, so listen to
the song to get them exactly…my ear is still in training :) Thanx, please feel
free to email me at mustbetherugby@hotmail.com with questions, comments &
concerns! ~Jess**
