[Intro]
Bb  Gm  (x2)
 
[Verse 1]
 Bb
Every time I get away you
 Gm                       Bb     Gm
find a way to reel me back in. (aah)
 Bb
Tell me that you love me
        Gm                          Bb        Gm
hold me tight so we can always be friends. (aah)
Bb
I swear
              Gm                    Bb      Gm
I've said it before, and I say it again! (aah)
Bb
Every time I get away you
       Gm                  Bb     Gm
find a way to pull me back in. (aah)
 
[Refrain]
Eb         D        C
Why does it take so long?
Eb         D        C
Why does it feel so wrong?
Eb         D        C
Why does it take so lo-oo-ong?
 
[Chorus]
Bb      D
Knew I, couldn't help myself
Bb       D   C
I had to lay low.
Bb     D
So I, couldn't help myself
Bb        D   C
I lost my halo.
 
[Verse 2]
Bb
Take me by the hand and
      Gm                             Bb     Gm
still remember all the good times we had. (aah)
Bb                                   Gm
I remember how you took my favourite knife
                     Bb      Gm
and sticked it under my skin. (aah)
Bb
I swear
              Gm                    Bb      Gm
I've said it before, and I say it again! (aah)
Bb
Every time I get away you
       Gm                 Bb       Gm
find a way back under my skin.
 
[Refrain]
Eb         D        C
Why does it take so long?
Eb         D        C
Why does it feel so wrong?
 
[Chorus]
Bb      D
Knew I, couldn't help myself
Bb       D   C
I had to lay low.
Bb     D
So I, couldn't help myself
Bb        D   C
I lost my halo.
 
[Bridge]
Bb
All my life
D
With a skeleton.
Bb       D   C
I had to let go.
 
[Outro]
Bb    D
So I, couldn't help myself
Bb        D  C
I lost my halo. (x3)

It's pretty good, but like the other person said, that G just doesn't fit, but that's only because that G should be a Gm. Also D should be a Dm, and C, a Cm and they all sound better as barre chords(which is like duh for the obvious barre chords!). Other than that, it's not bad!

the chords are wrong and don't match the song, see comments for suggestions, the cm and dm changes really help.

A# is right but literally every chord after is wrong...don't settle for an amateur tab, make sure it's correct before you publish
