[LYRICS]
[Verse 1]
Did you know that you could be wrong
And swear you're right
Some people been known to do it all their lives
But you find yourself alone just like you found yourself before
Like I found myself in pieces on the hotel floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Hard times have helped me see
I'm a good man with a good heart
Had a tough time, got a rough start
But I finally learned to let it go
Now I'm right here and I'm right now
[Chorus 1]
And I'm open knowing somehow
That my shadow days are over
My shadow days are over now
Well I ain't no troublemaker
[Verse 2]
And I never meant her harm
But that doesn't mean I didn't make it hard to carry on
Well it sucks to be honest
And it hurts to be real
But it's nice to make some love that I can finally feel
Hard times, let me be
[Chorus 2]
I'm a good man with a good heart
Had a tough time, got a rough start
But I finally learned to let it go
Now I'm right here and I'm right now
And I'm open knowing somehow
That my shadow days are over
My shadow days are over now
I'm a good man with a good heart
Had a tough time, got a rough start
But I finally learned to let it go
Now I'm right here and I'm right now
And I'm open knowing somehow
That my shadow days are over
My shadow days are over now

A few adjustment to your tab. It is almost there.
I edited parts of your tab, filled the missing part, and I also removed some of the X's b/c I was having a hard time reading the chords & they usually mean that they're muted.
Just figure out the picking patterns and I think this should be 100% accurate. Great tab man! 5*

Hey man this is a great tab thanks so much. Just listening to the vid on .5x though, the part where it goes "Hard times let me see...." the 2nd (B) string actually goes "3 2 3 5" instead of "3 3 3 5" I'm almost positive of it. Other than that everything sounds right!
