Ok, I have seen many tabs for this song, and yet they all say that you have to
use this weird as hell tunning. Instead, I found a way to play it without doing
a totally wierd tunning, but it is a weird one.

[Intro]
Bm - Bm9 - G9 - Gmaj7 - G9(2) (x2)
 
[Verse 1]
D5                    D5/E       G9(2)
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Bm7           D5/A                G9(2)
Cuz I know that you feel me somehow
D5           D5/E                G9(2)
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
Bm7           D5/A            G9(2)
And I don't want to go home right now
D5             D5/E           G9(2)
And all I can taste is this moment
Bm7             D5/A         G9(2)
And all I can breathe is your life
D5             D5/E        G9(2)
Cuz sooner or later it's over
Bm7         D5/A               G9(2)
I just don't want to miss you tonight
 
[Chorus]
Bm7          D5              G9(2)
And I don't want the world to see me
Bm7          D5               G9(2)
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
Bm7          D5             G9(2)
When everything's made to be broken
Bm7          D5             G9(2)
I just want you to know who I am
 
[Verse 2]
D5          D5/E                 G9(2)
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Bm7          D5/A           G9(2)
Or the moment of truth in your lies
D5            D5/E            G9(2)
When everything feels like the movies
Bm7             D5/A                G9(2)
Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive
 
[Chorus]
Bm7          D5              G9(2)
And I don't want the world to see me
Bm7          D5               G9(2)
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
Bm7          D5             G9(2)
When everything's made to be broken
Bm7          D5             G9(2)
I just want you to know who I am
 
[Bridge]
Bm7 - A4/C# - D5 - Bm7 - D5 - G9(2) - Gmaj7  (x2)
 
[Interlude]
(short strokes)
Bm - Bm9 - Bm - G9(2)- Gmaj7  (x2)
 
[Outro]
