FIRST VERSE: (this line repeats throughout the verse)
(note: if you don't want to slide up to 10, you can simply play the
same pattern (5-5-4-5, etc..)) up a string (so on the A, D, and G 
strings instead of the E, A, and D ones).

                we were walking....

E |-5-----------5--------5-/10----------10-------10----------------|-


BRIDGE: 
("I could never divorce you....it's good to have options")
and
("So I told her I loved her...and she mostly believed me")

The second half of this riff is also used to go from the Chorus to the
2nd verse

CHORDS USED IN THE CHORUS AND 2ND VERSE:

    D     G     D-up   G-up
E |-2-----x-----x-----x-------
B |-3-----3-----x-----x-------
G |-2-----0-----11----9-------
D |-0-----0-----0-----0-------
A |-x-----x-----9-----10------
E |-x-----3-----10----10------


CHORUS: the chorus is simply repeating D and G. In concert, David plays
these chords up on the fretboard, similar to the 2nd verse chords.
I put the way I play it on solo acoustic guitar, since without a band to
back me up it's nice to get the fullness of the lower chord inversions.

2ND VERSE: The 2nd verse is simply repeating D-up and G-up.

OUTTRO: it's basically the same as the intro; just listen to the song and
you'll be able to hear which parts are which. The last chord is a regular
B-minor chord.
