First let's define some chords. For most chords, you should hit
the bass note alone, and then strum the full chord. You can figure
out the strumming pattern yourself, it's not too hard. Note that
each X* is essentially an open-E chord with X as the bass note.

This is what the second guitar plays (in the studio recorded version)
Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed
You said move on, where do I go?
I guess second best is all I will know
'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you (thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you

Who was spending the night (spending the night, spending the night)
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes (eyes)
You're like an Indian summer in the middle of winter
Like a hard candy with a surprise center
How do I get better once I've had the best
You said, there's tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test
He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth (I taste your mouth), oh
He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself
'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you (thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you
What you would do if you were the one

Oh, I wish that I

And yes, I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, now the lesson's learned

Oh, I think you should know

Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh, won't you walk through
And bust in the door and take me away
Oh, no more mistakes
'Cause in your eyes, I'd like to stay, stay

Here are the shell chords for the Intro, just so you can get an idea of the
fingering. Of course the pinky will have to lift off to do the hammer-on and the
1st finger has to lift up to barre the 2nd and 1st strings while playing the
C#m11 chord. Notice that you can hold down the 3rd finger for the entire Intro.
I arranged this for one guitar but it would be a lot easier with two guitars (one
guitar playing the bass notes and the other guitar playing the melody with a capo
at the 7th fret).

Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed
You said move on, where do I go?
I guess second best is all I will know
'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you (thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you
What you would do if you were the one
Who was spending the night (spending the night, spending the night)
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes (eyes)
You're like an Indian summer in the middle of winter
Like a hard candy with a surprise center
How do I get better once I've had the best
You said, there's tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test
He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth (I taste your mouth), oh
He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself
'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you (thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you
What you would do if you were the one
Who was spending the night (spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I
Was looking into your
The best
And yes, I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, now the lesson's learned
I touched it, I was burned
Oh, I think you should know
'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you (thinking of you, thinking of you) (oh)
Thinking of you (oh)
What you would do if you were the one
Who was spending the night (spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I
Was looking into your, your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh, won't you walk through
And bust in the door and take me away
Oh, no more mistakes
'Cause in your eyes, I'd like to stay, stay
