Based on album version. Guitar is tuned to Eb standard and the chords written reflect that, so if you want to play in E standard shift all the chords a half step up.Was this info helpful?

A few suggestions: In the verses, I play the the Bb as a power chord with the bass note shifting from
Bb-G-Bb.
During the choruses instead of playing the full Bb chord, I just play three ascending notes: F - G - Bb.
After playing that pattern for the 4th time on the word "runaround", strum the Bb chord.
It can sound good (especially on acoustic) to leave the high Eb or even Bb strings ringing out
on the Prechorus and Bridge progressions. The Ab chords can generally be substituted with Absus2 as well.
It's a pretty simple song but the rhythm can be a little tricky so listen closely!
[Intro]
N.C.
Tears how they burn in the pouring rain
It's all that's left, it's all that's left because
[Verse 1]
Cm Bb
Said she don't wanna talk to me no more
Cm Bb
Said I can't give her what she's been lookin for
Cm Bb
There's a longing within her eyes
Cm Bb
Nobody's here, but the fear's still inside her
[Pre Chorus]
Ab Bb Cm
She always wants what she can't afford
Ab Bb Cm
Walking away but we're crawlin' for more
Ab Bb Cm
It's perfection that we fantasize
Ab Bb Cm
Broken, naked and vulnerable
[Chorus]
Eb Cm
Wide open
Eb Bb Cm
You cut me open like before
Eb Cm
Don't wanna feel it,
Eb Bb Cm
but you always wanna mess around
Eb Cm
Don't leave it open
Eb Bb Cm
Wide open like before
Eb Cm
Don't wanna feel it,
Eb Bb
but you're always givin' that runaround
[Verse 2]
Cm Bb
We're always keeping score.
Cm Bb
Got a good look, but shots kept falling short
Cm Bb
Real love's not a bluff.
Cm Bb
One half-step you know that ain't enough
[Pre Chorus]
Ab Bb Cm
We always want what we can't afford
Ab Bb Cm
Walking away while we're closing our doors
Ab Bb Cm
Imperfections that we can't hide
Ab Bb Cm
Wide open, naked and vulnerable
[Chorus]
Eb Cm
Wide open
Eb Bb Cm
You cut me open like before
Eb Cm
Don't wanna feel it,
Eb Bb Cm
but you always wanna mess around
Eb Cm
Don't leave it open
Eb Bb Cm
Wide open like before
Eb Cm
Don't wanna feel it,
Eb Bb
but you're always givin' that runaround
[Bridge]
