The performance of the song finishes at the end of the first chorus, however completing the whole song
seemed much more appropriate.

Credit to MatisyahuFan for the original tab to work off of.
Majority of the chords have been transposed from MatisyahuFan's tab besides the addition of a new chord
and the tab changes are by ear so if there any mistakes, please feel free to leave a comment!

Two versions have been made for the intro tab, one with the low E string dropped down to D
and the other with no changes to standard tuning.

When I had you to myself

Tryin' to live without your love

Is one long sleepless night

Let me show you girl

I leave tearstains on the ground
