This is the picking pattern used throughout the song. Right hand thumb plays the 5th
string for C and Am or 6th string for G, F, Em etc.
Verse (same picking as above):
C G F Am
If you ever pass by where I used to live
G F Am
And should you bump into the man I was with
G F Em G
Back when I didn't know what to believe
F Am
Please will you tell him from me
The G at the end of the third line (as she sings "believe") is played slightly
differently using a hammer-on like this:
G
E|-------------------|
B|-------0h1---0-----|
G|-------0---------0-|
D|-----0-----0---0---|
A|-------------------|
E|-3-----------------|
Chorus (same fingerpicking):
C G F Am
That I loved him with every beat of my heart
G F C G
I trembled with longing when we were apart
F Em
Oh, I'd ache to pull him in close
F Am
And I don't think he knows
For the final F in the chorus she just plays the bass note once instead of the picking pattern.
Post-chorus:
This is strummed rather than fingerpicked.
G6 Fmaj7 Am
The rest of the song is played in the same way.
The last thing I heard he was losing his job
I guess they'd found out that he rarely turned up
He hated it there only stayed for me
Please, will you make him believe
That I always thought you should follow your dreams
However hard and uncertain it seems
I'd have loved him whatever he chose
I don't think he knows
Our lives grew apart, it's been just over a year
For reasons I can't really tell you about here
Love wasn't nearly enough in the end
Please, will you tell him again
That I hurt myself more than I ever hurt him
I wasn't as distant and cold as I seemed
I was lost all the way into my bones
I don't think he knows
N.B. The post-chorus is slightly different here:
G6 Fmaj7 Am
G6 Fmaj7 Am
G6 Fmaj7 Em F Fmaj7
When the dust had settled he moved on as well
He found a new girl that he loved, I could tell
And my mind started wandering jealously
Please, will you ask him from me
If really he thought that I was the one
Or were we just sharing some time on the run
Did he love me with peace and with hope
I don't really know
Ending is like this:
G6 Fmaj7 Am
G6 Fmaj7 Am
G6 Fmaj7 Em F Fmaj7
G6 Fmaj7
