version 2
Tuning: Eb-G-Bb-F-Bb-D (no capo)
Notes:
- The timing isn't shown exactly on the tab, so listen to get that
correctly.
- All of the notes on the 4th fret of Eb can be replaced with an open
note on G. The open on G is a little easier to play.
- This isn't exactly how Mike plays it (especially with the intro, where
he plays some bar chords for the bass line that I couldn't figure out)
as the clips on Youtube show otherwise in some spots, but it sounds
dead on.
- I didn't tab out Guitar 2's picking overlay during the intro and
break, but those are just fills.
- I also couldn't get the ending riff before the outro, as it sounds
like 2 guitars going.
- The notes shown as (0) are optional, and just mimic the bass line Mike
plays in the background then.
- Notes with an "h" after them should be hammered, those with a "p"
after them are pulled, and "s" means slide up to that note.
- Enjoy! And please send any corrections.

Note: those last 5 bars are just a little extra that kind of sounds
fuller; Mike layers at least one other guitar track over top that I
can't really figure out.

p = pull off/on
(x)= optional note, fun to switch up etc.
The song break down structure in bars/lyrics is as follows:
[1] x4
let's just forget
everything said
and everything we did
best friends, better halves
[2] x4
goodbyes
and the autumn night
when we realized
we were falling out of love
[3] x4 (long bars)
[4] x6
the last thing
you want to be
is overly dramatic
I just think it's best
cause you can't miss what you forget
[5] x4
so let's just pretend
everything and anything
between you and me
was never meant
[1] x12
was never meant
