Everything is right except the intro/verse, it should be played a whole step down like this e|----------------------------------------------------------------| b|----------------------------------------------------------------| G|-2--2-2-2/6--6-6-0----------4--4-4-0----------------------------| D|-2--2-2-2/6--6-6-0-4--4-4-x-4--4-4-0----------------------------| A|-0--0-0-0/4--4-4-0-4--4-4-x-2--2-2-0----------------------------| E|-------------------2--2-2-x-------------------------------------|

I... Like... You...

+11

well...ya know its down a whole step right? thats probably why its higher when they play it live because they weren't tuned that low live when they played it therefore it sounds different just felt like sharing that ._.
