Intro:
Am Em7 F/G
 
1st verse:
Am
While this town is busy sleeping,
Em
All the noise has died away.
Am
I walk the streets to stop my weeping,
Am                             Em
'Cause she'll never change her ways.
 
Chorus:
Fmaj7
Don't fool yourself,
Fmaj7                         Emadd9
She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
Fmaj7
Ah, my heart feels so still
Fmaj7                        C
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
Em                                 Am
   Ooh, I think I've forgotten her now.
 
Intro
 
2st verse:
Am
Her love is a rose, pale and dying.
Em
Dropping her petals in land unknown
Am
All full of wine, the world before her,
Am             Em
Was sober with no place to go.
 
Chorus:
Fmaj7
Don't fool yourself,
Fmaj7                         Emadd9
she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
Fmaj7
My heart is frozen still
Fmaj7                        C
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
Em                           Am
   She's somewhere out there now.
 
Guitar solo
(Am Em)
 
Bridge:
(Just play the intro allthrough the bridge)
Am               Em7       F/G       Am
Well my tears falling down as I try to forget,
Am             Em7           F/G         Am
Her love was a joke from the day that we met.
Am         Em7    F/G        Am
All of the words, all of her men,
Am        Em7         F/G           Am
All of my pain when I think back to when.
Am           Em7        F/G          Am
Remember her hair as it shone in the sun,
Am           Em7            F/G             Am
The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done.
Am            Em7      F/G      E
Tell yourself over and over you won't ever need her again.
 
Chorus:
Fmaj7
Don't fool yourself,
Fmaj7                                      Emadd9
she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
Fmaj7
My heart is frozen still
Fmaj7                        C
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
Em                           E
   She's somewhere out there now.
 
Fmaj7
Oh,
Fmaj7                                       Emadd9
She was heartache from the day that i first met her.
Fmaj7
My heart is frozen still
Fmaj7                        C
As i try to find the will to forget you somehow
Em                            Am
Cause i know you're somewhere out there right now.

Great song, nice transcription. It's sad, that Jeff Buckley actually hated this one :)

Nice tab, you can still play a C/G instead of a C and a Fmaj7/C instead of a simple Fmaj7 chord if you want, it sounds great ( even better on a 12-string guitar )
