How come I end up where I started
How come I don't end where I belong
Don't take your eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string
 
How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Don't take your eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string
 
After 50 seconds or so, Jonny steps in:

~1:31, in this section Jonny uses another approach, listen carefully to the song:
(One by one)
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------4------4--------6-4---6-----------7-6--4-----------6--4---------|
G|------------6------------------------------------------------------6--4---|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------/4---------------(/)6-------------4-----------------|

Back to the 'normal' approach:
(Come to us..)
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------4------4---------6--4--6-----------7-6-4-----------6--4----6----|
G|--------------6-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Interlude:
e|----------------------------------------------|
B|-----5-----------5----------4---------4-------|
G|--------6-----------6----------5---------5----|
D|-----------6-----------6----------5---------5-|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------|
 
Repeat 4 times:
e|--------------------------------|
B|----4---------------------------|
G|--------6---4-4---3--4--3-------|
D|----------------------------6---|
A|--------------------------------|
E|--4-----------------------------| (may be bass)
 
Slightly different approach again
(You used to be alright....)

G|------------6------------------------------------------------------6------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|------------6------------------------------------------------------6------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------6----------------4---------------|
E|-------4------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
(Thanks for whatever)
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------4------4--------6-4---6-----------7-6-4----------6-4------------|
G|------------6---------------------------------------4----------6--4-------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------/4--------------------------------------------------|
E|-------4------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
(15 steps then a sheer drop)
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------4------4--------6-4---6-----------7-6--4-----------6--4---------|
G|------------6------------------------------------------------------6------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------/4---------------(/)6-------------4-----------------|
E|-------4------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
How come I up end where I started
How come I end up where I belong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me in then you let me in
 
Ending: Repeat ~4 times
e|----4------------------|
B|--------7--5-5--3------|
G|-------------------6-5-|
D|-----------------------|
A|-----------------------|

Too bad people can't read these days. This is not the album version! It would have been rather odd had I tabbed it in May 2006 :). Again, this is the live version as played in Copenhagen, 2006. Greets.

i was finding it hard interpreting this but its a really good effort although listening to it again and i think johnny uses like barre chord shapes almost like this: e|----------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----4--------4-----6-----4--6-----7-----6--4-----6-----4-------| G|-----4-----6--4-----6-----4--6-----8-----6--4-----6-----4--6----| D|-----------6-----------------------------------------------6----| A|-----------------4-----4--------6-----6--------4-----4-----4----| E|--4-----4-------------------------------------------------------| thats kinda what i trhink goes on but i could be totally wrong let me know what you think :)
