[Verse 1]
     Fmaj7                  Cmaj7/G              Am7
It's true that all that you know is all that you are
              (Tab)
You said that it's all that you want and more
Fmaj7                      Cmaj7/G
Fuck off and pour another drink
                       Am7
And tell me what you think
                 (Tab)                    Fmaj7
You know that I'm too drunk to talk right now
                                Cmaj7/G
You put your cigarette out on my face
         Am7
So beautiful, please woman
 
[Refrain]
(Tab)                      F
Don't break your back for me
             Fm
I'll put you out of your misery
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj7/G
Tell me that it's all okay (tell me that it's all okay)
            Am7
I've been waitin' on this all damn day (waitin' on this all damn day)
D7
Call me in the morn in', tell me how last night went
     F              Fm
I'm here, but don't count on me to...
 
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
Stay a little longer if you convince me
You tell me all the things that you have against me
Cmaj7/G
Every time we make up, the truth is faded
Am7
Everybody's blind when the view's amazin'
(Tab)
Damn, who are we right now?
Fmaj7
Can we have a little conversation?
 
Figure it out with no intoxication
Cmaj7/G
We carry on, what is our motivation?
Am7
We're never wrong, how the hell we gonna make it?
(Tab)
Maybe we're used to this
Fmaj7
Tell me, what are we to do
 
It's like we only play to lose
Cmaj7/G
Chasin' pain with an excuse
Am7
I love that shit and so do you
 
[Refrain]
(Tab)                          F
But don't break your back for me
             Fm
I'll put you out of your misery
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj7/G
Tell me that it's all okay (tell me that it's all okay)
Am7
I've been waitin' on this all damn day (waitin' on this all damn day)
D7
Call me in the mornin', tell me how last night went
     F              Fm
I'm here, but don't count on me to stay

Great tab man, but i think the Fmaj7 in the Chorus should be an F

This song is in the key of C. The verses and choruses pull to a C major chord for resolution. The “G6add4” is better understood as a “Cmaj7/G”. Do NOT take my word for it. Substitute a G and a C chord for the G6add4 and hear what sounds closer - you will realize that is not doing the job of a G chord, and the song is definitely not in F.
