The Am chord is sometimes "sussed" to add a transition, but mostly
chords
are just strummed once with lots of echo and reverb and a bit of
distortion. The strumming can be slightly tricky if you're singing at
the same time, so listen to the record to get it right.

Am G6 Fma7 E7 Am

Am
And surely that ain't right
F G Am
Surely that ain't right.
[Verse 3]
Same as verse 1, except with strings..Also, 2nd Am is sussed,
if you see what I mean...(play 2nd Am as Am->Asus4->G6)
Until
F G Am F
How can it feel, this wrong, from this moment
G E7
How can it feel, this wrong?
[Break]
Play intro (with a lot of bass A, G, F, E) up to:
F G Am F
How can it feel, this wrong, from this moment
G E7
How can it feel, this wrong?
Play Verse 1 again (the same way as in intro).
Ends on: Am
"...this wrong."
Other ways of playing some chords:
----------------------------------
Fmaj7 Amsus4 Am G6 or
e:--0---------------0-----3--0--|
B:--1---------5-----1-----5--0--| The 1st G6 voicing is a bit crap,
G:--2---------7-----2-----4--0--| but Fmaj7 and Am and 2nd G6 are easier
D:--3---------7-----2-----x--0--| to play like this on an accoustic
A:--3---------7-----0-----5--2--| and sound better..
E:--0---------5-----------3--3--|
| x Dead note
| h Hammer-on

version 2
It's the same structure throughout so just replace the lyrics for each verse
respectivly. There's only one change in the song which is the verse where the
strings come in (approx. 2:30) with the last chord, an Am, being replaced by
an E7.
[Verse 1]
