This is the main riff you will play for the verses and is shown as F#5, A5,
F#5 E5
in the tabs here:

e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------------- ------|
D|--4---4---7-4---2--2--2---2--2--2-----------------------------------|
A|--4---4---7-4---2--2--2---2--2--2-----------------------------------|
E|--2---2---5-2---0--0--0---0--0--0-----------------------------------|

You can do the A on the next string up with an 2 chord, but I find this way

easier. Most other chords, you can use full bar chords except the Bridge.

Just

keep playing the pattern over each line until you reach a new chord. Step 2:

Find a really good bassist to play with you.

Intro:
F#5 A5 F#5 E5 (4x)

Verse
F#5 A5 F#5 E5
Well Ya know that I want your loving,

but my logic tells me that it aint never gonna happen,

and then my defense is to say I didn't want it anyway,

but you know sometimes I'm a liar.
C#m B
Could you ever want me to love you?
C#m B
Could you ever want me to care?
F#5 A5 F#5 E5
Disregard my nervousness,

please ignore my vacant stares,
Chorus
C#m B
'cause just what I've been through,
A
is nothing like where I'm going to.
F# A F# E
Give me some sign to pursue,
A promise,
B
and you're unhappy.
N.C.
...This is only a guess...
F#5 A5 F#5 E5(2x)
