on the chorus, instead of playing: e|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------| D|---9---9---9---9---9---9---9---9-----------| A|-------------------------------------------| D|-5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5-------------| which is really hard to reach, you can play: e|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| G|---4---4---4---4---4---4---4---4-----------| D|-------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------| D|-5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5-------------| the same on the other things that are played in the chorus, so basically like this: Chorus e|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------| D|---4---4---4---4---4---2---0---0-----------| A|-------------------------------------------| D|-0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-------------| No I'm not alright NOTE: for this part I don't switch the notes at the end, I just play the 6 and 7 the whole way. e|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| G|---6----6----6----6----6----6---6---6------| D|-------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------| D|-7----7----7----7----7----7---7---7--------| I know that I'm not right e|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| G|---7----7----7----7----7----7----7----7----| D|-------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------| D|-9----9----9----9----9----9----9----9------| A steering wheel don't mean you can drive NOTE: Here is the same as the 7 and 6, I don't play the end notes I just keep playing 4 and 5 e|-------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------| G|---4---4---4---4---4---4---4---4-----------| D|-------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------| D|-5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5-------------| A warm body don't mean I'm alive You can use this pattern for anywhere else in the song I'm pretty sure, I do change the song a little but it still sounds good and you really can't tell that much anyway.
