I. Play these four chords throughout the verse,  
the strumming is really easy to follow. 
 
Play 4x 
eb--0--0--2--5-- 
bb--0--0--2--5-- 
gb--1--2--3--6-- 
db--2--2--4--7-- 
ab--2--0--4--7-- 
eb--0--0--2--5-- 
 
II.  Play these chords throughout the part after the verse,  
the strumming on these is easy to follow too.   
Make sure that you play the open E and B strings with the chords,  
that's the way it sounds on the recording. 
 
Play 4x 
eb--0--0--0--0--0-- 
bb--0--0--0--0--4-- 
gb--9--9--6--4--4-- 
db--9--9--6--4--4-- 
ab--7--6--4--2--2-- 
eb----------------- 
 
III.  Play each of these chords twice in a row,  
with rests in between. 
 
eb--0--5--2--0-- 
bb--0--5--2--1-- 
gb--1--6--3--2-- 
db--2--7--4--2-- 
ab--2--7--4--0-- 
eb--0--5--2--0-- 
 
IV.  Play the E and the first A chord like in section III,  
then at the F#, start strumming up and down.   
End on an open finger E. 
 
eb--0--5--2--5--0-- 
bb--0--5--2--5--0-- 
gb--1--6--3--6--1-- 
db--2--7--4--7--2-- 
ab--2--7--4--7--2-- 
eb--0--5--2--5--0-- 
 
V.  I saw Chris play this song on MTV Unplugged, and he plays  
and sings it a little differently (as live versions go)   
Here's the ending part that you'd play in place of section IV  
if you're following him live. 
 
Play this part before each line that the audience sings.   
Lines are:  
"It's cool to take these chances." 
"It's cool to fake romances." 
"And grow up fast."  
"And grow up fast." 
"And grow up fast." 
 
eb--00-- 
bb--00-- 
gb--11-- 
db--22-- 
ab--22-- 
eb--00-- 
 
And then...
