From the album 'Made In Heaven', this is a tab for the Queen version of the song.  If
you wanted to play the solo, there's an excellent tab for that by Kanfano on this site.
 
I use the notation of G - - D/F# | to indicate that a G chord is played for the first
three beats of the bar, and the D/F# is played on the fourth beat.  The | separates bars.

[Intro]
 
| G - - D/F# | C - - - | G - - D/F# | C - - - |
 
 
[Verse 1]
             G             C             G
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be;
    D/F# Em               D               C - - G/B |
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me.
     Am            Em
I am far away from home,
              Am          Em
And I've been facing this alone
             Dsus4 - D - | C - D - |
For much too long.         Oh
 
            G           C                   G
I feel like no one ever told the truth to me
         D/F# Em            D                 C - - C/B |
About growing up and what a struggle it would be.
      Am                Em
In my tangled state of mind,
          Am              Em
I've been looking back to find
             Dsus4 - D - | C - D - |
Where I went wrong.
 
 
[Chorus]
G                  C
Too much love will kill you
       Em                 D
If you can't make up your mind;
G                C
Torn between the lover
        Em               D
And the love you leave behind.
       G/B           C
You're headed for disaster
         Dadd11          C#dim
'Cos you never read the signs:
G5
Too much love will kill you
      G - - D/F# | C - - - | G - - D/F# | C - - - |
Every time.
 
 
[Verse 2]
          G                C             G
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be,
   D/F# Em                    D                   C
And it  seems like there's no way out of this for me.
  Am                Em
I used to bring you sunshine;
    Am         Em
Now all I ever do
             Dsus4 - D - | C - D - |
Is bring you down.         Ooh-ooh
 
             G              C              G
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes?
      D/F# Em             D           C - - C/B |
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose?
    Am                Em
Oh, there's no making sense of it:
Am          Em
Every way I go
             Dsus4 - D - | C - D - |
I'm bound to lose.         Oh-ooh
 
 
[Chorus]
G                  C
Too much love will kill you
        Em              D
Just as sure as none at all
        G                      C
It will drain the power that's in you,
         Em                   D
Make you plead and scream and crawl
        G/B                C
And the pain will make you crazy
           Dadd11          C#dim
You're the victim of your crime
G5
Too much love will kill you
      G - - D/F# | C - - - |
Every time.
 
 
[Solo]
 
| G  - C  - | G  - - -  | Em    - D - | C - - - |
| Am - Em - | Am - Em - | Dsus4 - D - | C - D - |
 
 
[Chorus]
      G                  C
Yeah, too much love will kill you;
      Em               D
It'll make your life a lie.
     G                 C
Yes, too much lo-ooove will kill you
        Em               D
And you won't understand why.
        G/B
(You'd) give your life,
       C
You'd sell your soul,
    Dadd11            C#dim
But here it comes again:
G                              Cm/Eb
Too much love will kill you,
       G - - D/F# | C - D - |
In the end.
        G   -   -    D/F# | C - Em - | - - - - | - - - - |
I-i-i-i-in the end.

im pretty sure where you put the A7 its actually a C# half diminished(C# E G B) or Em6/C# if you dont know what a half diminished chord is

I think the G-chord before the A7 should be an Em.. Other than that, great job! :D
