How to read tablature?
Intro - x2 -: D  A  Em  A
 
Verse:
D                 A        Em      A
   And I'm just a waste of her energy
D      A                  Em     A
   And she's just a waste of my time
D     A                Em     A 
   So why don't we get together
             D          A     Em   A
And we could waste everything tonight
             D               A        Em    A
And we could waste and we could waste it all    tonight

Interlude: D  A  Em  A 

             D               A        Em    A
And we could waste and we could waste it all 

Verse:
D                A               Em      A
   And I don't pretend to know what you know   
D                  A                Em        A
   Now please don't pretend to know what's on my mind
D           A                    Em              A
   If we already knew everything that everybody knows
          D           A       Em     A
We would have nothing to learn tonight
               D            A   Em     A
And we would have nothing to show tonight
 
Chorus:
        G
Oh, but everybody thinks that everybody knows
      A
About everybody else nobody knows
G
Anything about themselves
       A
Cause they’re all worried about everybody else

Verse:

    Love’s just a waste of our energy
D         A               Em     A

Kai

I’m in trouble. I need the full song -.-

pierce the em

missing half of the song:
I’m in trouble, I’m so cliche see that word just wears me out
makes me feel like just another guy to laugh and joke about
and even worse I can’t stop calling her, I love to hear that voice
and honestly, I’m left with no choice. (repeat bridge and chorus, using 1, 12, 123 pattern for the “ohs”)

ushuaia

The chords aren’t right. It’s supposed to be Bb, Eb, and F. Or another way I learned before I knew more chords was put in standard D tuning and use C,F, and G

Spiderman

+6 with a capo on the first fret sounds most like the original.

Watson Patty

please post the full song this is only half of it!

BeautifulMusicLover

Transpose -3 is the easiest its chords G, C, F

nickname#7

-3 sounds great with a capo on the first fret

cookistlr

Thanks so much! i play it -3 and it sounds awesome

Caitie

This way more or less works, but Chris actually plays Bb, Eb, F and he starts on Bb

mercyalltheway

@Caitie and @ushuaia. They are correct, actually. Like j.austin said, the original song is in transposed to -5.
