Standard Tuning EADGBe
There is a picking rhythm throughout song that alternates the bass note between the root
and it's fifth, but that note may be played by a second guitar because it's very and
in the song, but to get the feel for it it's something like this:
B E

Intro: B for 4 measures
Verse:
B E
You can compliment me on the style of my hair
B E
Give me marks out of ten for the clothes that I wear
B E
You probably thought I had more upstairs
C#m D#m B
I disappoint you, I can see through your perfect smile
B E
He likes to read books written for girls
B E
Prides himself on being a man of the world
B E
It’s in the darkest places he gets his thrills
C#m D#m B
He will disappoint you, if you see through his perfect smile
Chorus:
E B
I think separation is ok
E B
You’re no star to guide me anyway
E B
You only wanted me to play
C#m D#m
The fool
B
Play by your rule
Interlude:
B E

B E
C#m D#m B
Verse:
B E
Now my door has swollen from the rain
B E
God knows we’ll never see her face again
B E
People get shattered in many ways
C#m D#m B
They can disappoint you if you see through their perfect smiles
Chorus:
E B
I think separation is ok
E B
'Cause you’re no star to guide me anyway
E B
You only wanted me to play
C#m D#m
A fool
B
Play by your rule
C#m D#m
