Ok well this album has been one that I can return to whenever I want. And I saw the bass

C#m B A A
It's not so easy, caving in
C#m B A
I walked by your apartment twice today

Kill the messenger

And get to church cause you're a good girl

Ok that's it, i'm lazy just transpose it into the rest of the song like I did with the
so that's it.
Isn't it lovely how simple songs become on guitar? You can play this acoustically too,
how I do it. Capo sounds better with Piano though in my opinion.
Any thoughts or anything, just hit me a line on my UGSpace. Cheers.
