Repeat second bridge:

So if I'm inside your head

Don't believe what you might have read

You'll see what I might have said

To hear it

Come waste your time with me

NOTES abd TIPS:

1) ** the Cmaj11, Cmaj7, C9 part in the beginning of the

song sounds as if Trey is picking the E and B strings.

As an alternative to playing these chords you can just

play the 3 notes that are the signature of this little part:

Cmaj11 CAj7 C9

E-----1-------0-------------- And after this go into the

B---------------------3------ F -> Fm -> C

G----------------------------

D----------------------------

A----------------------------

E----------------------------

2) The second bridge sounds real nice when the Eb and Bb are

played on the 6th fret and the C and F are played on the 8th.

3) the F at the begining of the chorus should be played on the

1st fret, and the F at the end of the line should be played on

the 8th.

Enjoy!
