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...
----0---|
--0-----|
-5-5----| repeat until the pre-chorus. Then listen to the song to hear what
--------| chorus parts it is in.

Intro - C - C - G - F
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)
GFAm
Cause you caught me off guard
GFAm
Now I'm running and screaming
CGF
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
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
GFAm
You caught me off guard
GFAm
Now I'm running and screaming
CGF
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
CGF
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
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
GFAm
And you caught me off guard
GFAm
Now I'm running and screaming
CGF
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
CGF
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
CGF
(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
CGF
(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
CGF
(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
CGF
(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
END
I'm open to any criticism. If you have an idea to something that may be wrong, please
me.
Thanks.
