says C chord, only play the C note on the A string, as it is merely used as a transitional chord from C# to

version 6
Tuning:Half step down
I heard this song live and I thought it was the bomb. This is how I play it and it sounds pretty accurate
to the way they play it. The tricky part about this song is to learn when to use the bass string.

This is pretty much it. The second verse is played just like the first one and the last chorus just
has one extra chord to it which is an A between D and Bm. Listen to the song and you'll get it.
Em A D Bm
So take from me, what you want, what you need
Em A D Bm
Take from me whatever you want, whatever you need
Em A D A Bm
But lover please stay with me
Em
Ooh and I can see you
A D A Bm
And I can feel you, slipping trough my hands
Em A
Oooh I can taste you, I can taste you
D A Bm
Slipping through my hands
Em A D Bm
Take from me, what you want, what you need
Em A D Bm
Take from me, whatever you want
Em A D A Bm
My lover, please stay with me
Em A D
Oooh my lover, please stay with me
