[Verse]
C#m                         A
Broken, this fragile thing now,
       B       C#m                A
and I can't, I can't pick up the pieces.
    C#m                          A
And I've thrown my words all around,
       B        C#m               A
but I can't, I can't give you a reason.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
           B
I feel so broken up (so broken up),
     C#m
and I give up (I give up),
E                             B
I just wanna tell you so you know...
 
[Chorus]
       C#m
Here I go,
            A
scream my lungs out,
                   E
and try to get to you.
            B   G#7
You are my only one.
      C#m
I let go,
             A
there's just no one,
                     E
who gets me like you do.
             B      G#7   (C#m from below)
You are my only, my only one.

[Verse]
C#m                       A
Made my mistakes let you down,
       B        C#m                A
and I can't, I can't hold on for too long.
C#m                       A
Ran my whole life in the ground,
       B         C#m                 A
and I can't, I can't get up when you're gone.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                   B
And something's breaking up (breaking up),
            C#m
I feel like giving up (like giving up),
E                           B
I won't walk out until you know...
 
[Chorus]
       C#m

this sounds really good. If I may make a correction, though, I think this is in Emajor, not C#m (although they are relative keys, which i guess makes it possible to argue this either way). if you listen to the guitar picking in the intro of the song, it's picking the Emaj chord, not C#m. So instead of C#m for the first chord of the verses, i think it should be Emaj. Also, I think the chord progression makes a lot more sense if you look at it from the Emajor perspective (I, IV, V, vi, IV, back to I). And, it also makes sense because G#Mm7 would then become a V of vi chord, and resolves into the vi chord (C#m) in the next round of the chorus. of course this is all talking theory; the only real practical difference in my analysis would be that the C#m chord at the beginnings of the verses become E major instead. overall though, great tab

It's should be Emaj for verses as said before but as said before doesn't really matter but chord in chorus should be an augmented C chord which is why the C Major sounds better but still not quite right.

Awesome job. Those are perfect. I'm a bass player but I go off chords rather than bass tabs. The reason the 5th chord of the chorus is because its a G#7/C cuz the bass plays a C. Trippy, I know :] Spectacular work.
