Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is my first tab, so I'm looking for some criticism.
I like this song a lot, and I like playing the acoustic guitar, so I thought I'd try to
out the basic chords of the song for a good beginners song.
All chords are bar chords with the exception of the C chord. Sure, you COULD just use
chords, but you won't get the same high notes that you hear in the actual song. That's why
use bar chords in this.

If you have a second guitarist, the other part for the intro and most of the song would be...

[Intro] C - C - G - F
[Verse]
C
It's too late baby, there's no turning around
G
I got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud
F
This is how I do
When I think about you
C
I never thought that you could break me apart
G
I keep a sinister smile and a hole in my heart
F
You want to get inside
Then you can get in line
But not this time
[Pre-Chorus]
G-Am F
Cause you caught me off guard
G-Am F
Now I'm running and screaming
[Chorus]
C G F
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
[Verse]
C
I won't try to philosophize
G
I'll just take a deep breath then I'll look in your eyes
F
This is how I feel
And it's so surreal
C
I got a closet filled up to the brim
G
With the ghosts of my past and their skeletons
F
And I don't know why
You'd even try
But I won't lie
[Pre-Chorus]
G-Am F
You caught me off guard
G-Am F
Now I'm running and screaming
[Chorus]
C G F
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
C G F
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
[Verse]
C
And I feel a weakness coming on
G
It never felt so good to be so wrong
F
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
C
And I'm feeling like a newborn child
G
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
F
It's not complicated
I was so jaded
[Pre-Chorus]
G-Am F
And you caught me off guard
G-Am F
Now I'm running and screaming
[Chorus]
C G F
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
C G F
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
[Bridge]
C G F
(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
It never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
C G F
(Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?)
And I'm feeling like a newborn child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded
C G F
(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
It never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
C G F
(Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?)
And I'm feeling like a newborn child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

I'm open to any criticism. If you have an idea to something that may be wrong, please me.
