The riff can be found at the bottom of the tab. You can either play the tabs are the strum the chords above them. Both sound good. The strumming pattern isn't that difficult, listen to the recording to get the correct timing.

Verse:
        G               Em              Am           G
There's nothing I could say to make you try and feel ok
                      Am            C                 D
And nothing you could do to stop me feeling the way I do
    Am                   B             C             D
And if the chance should happen that I never see you again
     G              G     Asus4 G         G   Asus4 - or Riff -
Just remember that I'll always love you

Verse:
    G           Em            Am             G
I'd be a better person on the other side I'm sure
                    Am                 C            D
You'd find a way to help yourself then find another door
   Am              B         C                 D
To shrug off minor incidents make us both feel proud
        G                G      Asus4     G        G Asus4 - or Riff -
I just wish I could be there to see you through

Though every once upon a while your head was in the cloud

There's nothing you could never do to ever let me down

Biography

Badly Drawn Boy is Damon Gough, born October 2, 1969 in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, although the family moved to Bolton, Lancashire before Gough reached the age of one. Gough chose his stage name from a character that appeared in the cartoon show “Sam and His Magic Ball” which he saw on TV at a party in Trafford, Manchester in 1995. Before he thought of using this name he made some ‘business cards’, each one unique, with a printed picture of a drawing by his nephew, and a small collage by Gough.
