Transcribed by: Cody Morrison (the chorus, anyway)

This is a nifty song...it should have been included on the North American
version of TCATS. But anyway, here's my version of the song. Actually, it's
the same as everyone else's, except that I actually tab the chorus.
Well, I did change some things, because they didn't sound right...well,
I'll shut up.
Chords (intro/verse):
E-0- E-2- E-0- E-0-
B-2- B-3- B-0- B-3-
G-0- G-2- G-0- G-2-
D-2- D-0- D-2- D-0-
A-0- A--- A-2- A---
A7 E--- D E--- Em E-0- Dsus E---
Chords (bridge):
E-0- E-3- E-0- E-0-
B-1- B-3- B-3- B-1-
G-0- G-0- G-2- G-0-
D-2- D-0- D-0- D-2-
A-3- A-2- A--- A-0-
C E--- G E-3- Dsus E--- Am7 E---
Chords (outro):
E-0- E-2-
B-0- B-3-
G-0- G-2-
D-2- D-0-
A-2- A---
Em E-0- D E---
Intro/Verse:
A7 D A7 D A7
Dear Lover, do you remember the sound of your
D
laughter with mine
Pre-Chorus:
Em Dsus Em Dsus
That was all I could fall in love
Chorus:
This is what sets my tab apart from the others. The chorus is a bunch of
ocatves. The other tabs give you the names of the octaves, but in my mind,
tabs are what people who failed music class use to play guitar songs. So,
I'm a nice guy, and I'll actually give you the fret posistions of the octaves.

B-----------------------------
G-8-8---6-6---11--6--4--6--3--

"Did you find some happiness, with me..."
It gives a fuller sound if you play the same octaves on the high E at the same
time also. If you just play the one set of octaves, some vibrato is
cool...though not neccessary.
Bridge:
C, G, Dsus, Am7
Outro:
Em, D
Lyrics:
<verse>
Dear lover
Do you remember?
The sound of your laughter and demise
And that was all
I need to fall in love
<verse>
This matter
It's something bigger
Anything ever graced my heart
And that was all
I could fall in love...with you
And I can't stall this now
<chorus>
Did you find some hapiness with me?
Now I know the way true love should be
<verse>
Dear lover
Do you remember?
The beats of my heart that I gave you
And that was all
I need to fall in love
<verse>
It shattered
Slipped through my fingers
Floated down safely into your hands
And that was all
I could fall in love...with you
I can't stall this now
<bridge>
Ooh Ooh Ooh
<chorus>
Did you find some hapiness with me?
<outro>
Yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Enjoy.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FOO FIGHTERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
