[Intro]
 
F E Am (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
F   E         Am
  I know, you love the song but not the singer  
F   E           Am
  I know you've got me wrapped around your finger
F   E        Am
  I know you want the sin without the sinner
F   E       Am
  I know, I know
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F   E         F                                 Dm
  I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster  
  E        F                               Dm
I know the last in line is always called a bastard
  E        F                                 Dm
I know the past will catch you up as you run faster 
  E       F
I know, I know
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
F   E         Am
  I know you cut me loose from contradiction
F   E        Am
  I know I'm all wrapped up in sweet attrition
F   E         Am
  I know it's asking for your benediction
F   E       Am
  I know, I know
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F   E         F                                 Dm
  I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster  
  E        F                               Dm
I know the last in line is always called a bastard
  E        F                                 Dm
I know the past will catch you up as you run faster 
  E       F
I know, I know
 
 
[Interlude]
 
F E Am (x4)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F   E         F                                 Dm
  I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster  
  E        F                               Dm
I know the last in line is always called a bastard
  E        F                                 Dm
I know the past will catch you up as you run faster 
  E       F
I know, I know

Sounds pretty good to play the F and A like this: [tab] e|-0-|-0-| B|-0-|-0-| G|-2-|-2-| D|-2-|-2-| A|-3-|-0-| E|-1-|---| [/tab]

Great tab! It'd be great if u place the chords above the 2nd verse :) I think you can switch between E-Esus4 (022200) throughout the song.

I'm having a little bit of trouble in the chorus...getting the timing correct plus the Dm sounds funny but I have not listened to the song while learning it. The F-E-Am progression sounds good. For more specific accuracy I like play out the Am as: x02210.....x0223....x02210,,,x02200 bc in the song the Am chord is not static - the sound changes up.
