I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good

Tunning
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
John plays it tuned half a step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb), in which case
the name of the chords are only based on their position and not their
actual note. You can also play it half a step down on the neck and it
would sound the same since there are actually no open notes played in
the song. Or just play it half a step high than John and avoid
the hassle :P

(fade out while john fiddles around.)
 

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good

John does a fast pick and flick finger style with this song. He picks(p) with his thumb
and ring, and flicks(f) with his index finger. I'll note the pattern in the Intro, but
it follows through the whole song.

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good

version 16



Tuning:Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Capo:no capo
Tuning: half-step down
 
John uses only his THUMB and INDEX finger!
So don't hassle with your middle finger in this one...
 
So this is modified, not an album version. You can play the extra stuff as you like,
but in the video they are played exactly like this (in verse, chorus, interlude).
The biggest changes are in the chorus part of the song. Hope you find those refreshing!
I have added the strumming pattern in some places where the song has changed
a bit so that it'd be easier to catch up. d=down u=up
 
Chords that are used:
 
    D   Bm  F#m  G   D*  A
D#|-x----x---x---x---x---x--|
A#|-10---7---2---3---3---2--|
F#|-11---7---2---4---2---2--|
C#|-12---9---4---5---0---2--|
G#|-x----x---x---x---x---0--|
D#|-10---7---2---3---2---x--|
 
*I'm 100% sure that in D chord the D string is played "open"
so it's NOT e|--x--| like in every other tab in here.. Watch the video!
            B|--3--|
            G|--2--|
            D|-[4]-|
            A|--x--|
            E|--2--|
 
So let's begin with the INTRO. A bit different than in the other tabs (or album)..

just stick with your thumb and index finger
with lyrics to help you with the timing.

CHORUS || This is what I see & hear him do
 
So here's the part which John plays differently than in other tabs that are found here..
Don't go up to the tenth fret on the lower E string, just go down to fifth fret on the A string...
There could be "ghost notes", but I can't hear them so good that I could be
sure... (in parenthesis)
Also the G-based notes are played differently (maybe a bit more difficult at first)...

[Outro]
The ending goes like this, with the G played 'open' but try to be gentle with the hit,
so it doesn't flow over the other notes played.
Hold your middle finger on D string, and use your index and ring fingers on B string,
while Sliding up and down on the neck. Slide will give a nice flowing touch.

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good
