[Intro]
C/G   Fmaj7   Am7  Em6 Em  G
 
[Verse 1]
C/G
If you were a teacher
        Fmaj7
I would  fail your class
       Am7
Take it  over and over
         Em6 Em    G
'Til you noticed me
 
Am7
If you were a waiting room
        Fmaj7
I would  never see a doctor
        C/G
I would  sit there
                           Em   G
With my first aid kit and bleed
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
          Fmaj7             C/G
I want to be the power ballad
               Gsus4           Am7
That lifts you up and hold you down
 
        Fmaj7              C/G
I wanna be the broken love song
     Gsus4         G
That feeds your misery
 
 
[Chorus]
          Fmaj7              C/G
And I can  wish all that I want
        Fmaj7              C/G
But it won't bring us together
 
        Gsus4
Plus I know whatever happens to me
Gsus4                      C/G
I know it's for the better
 
 
[Break]
C/G   Fmaj7   Am7  Em6  G
 
 
[Verse 2]
     C/G                   Fmaj7
And when broken bodies are  washed ashore
Am7                    Em           G
  Who am I to ask for more, more, more?
 
          Am7                Fmaj7
But you're  breathing in my  open mouth
            C/G
You're the gun in my lips
          Em             G
That will blow my brains out
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
           Fmaj7                  C/G
I want to make you drive all night
             G            Am7
Just because I said maybe you should come over
 
           Fmaj7                C/G
I want to make you fall in love
           G                Am7
As hard as my poor parents teenage daughter
               Fmaj7
She'll be the best you ever had if you let her
 
 
[Instrumental Break]
Am7   Fmaj7   C/G   Em6  G
 
 
[Outro]
   C/G
I know it's for the better
 Fmaj7
Know it's for the better
 Am7
Know it's for the better
 Gsus4            G
Know it's for the better
 
 Am7
Know it's for the better
 Fmaj7
Know it's for the better
 C/G
Know it's for the better
 Gsus4            G
Know it's for the better
 
 Am7
Know it's for the better
 Fmaj7
Know it's for the better
 C/G
Know it's for the better
 Gsus4             G
Know it's for the better
 
 Am7
Know it's for the better
 Fmaj7
Know it's for the better
 C/G
Know it's for the better
 Gsus4
I never grew up with you
 Gsus4
And you're not my waiting room
C/G

im only a beginner but this tab given its difficulty is worth learning because of how accurate it is to the actual song. :)

I don't know if I'm listening to a different version of the recording but the one I'm listening to needs the capo on the 2nd fret rather than the 1st fret. All the chords are the same, as writing, so it's not a case of transposing. Great Tab though, thank you

You actually nailed this great job. Phoebe has a unique way of playing these common chords.
