thank you to jon for noticing my tab mistake in the pre-chorus :-)
NOTE: all 5 chords played in lowest position, unless otherwise noted.
*************************************************************************
Pre-Chorus/ Main Riff
e:--8----7---5---3--|--2---0-------------|
B:--10---8---7---5--|--4---1--[-4---1-]--| (last time you play it,
G:------------------|---------[-4---2-]--| leave off the part in
D:------------------|--------------------| the [brackets])
A:------------------|--------------------|
E:------------------|--------------------|
CHORUS:
(palm-mute the chords except the last time)
E5 B5 C5 C5
F#5 C5 B5 B5
he also throws in some kind of funky-sounding distorted chords,
more or less at the end of each line, but I don't know how to
play those. If anyone does and can explain it in email, please
let me know.
VERSE:
i think the chords are played on a keyboard
NOTE: although I think it could be played by a keyboard, one
part you can play (only) during the second verse:
e:---12po0------12-12-12po0----|
B:-----------------------------| play it twice or something
G:-----------------------------| over the background chords
D:-----------------------------|
A:-----------------------------|
E:-----------------------------|
Post-Chorus (kind of distorted)
"and i'm
another ex-g/f..." (repeat)
e:------------------------------|---------------------------------|
B:---5-----0------5-----0-------|----4----0---[-4----0--]---------|
G:*-----------------------------|--------------------------------*|
D:*-----------------------------|--------------------------------*|
A:------------------------------|---------------------------------|
E:------------------------------|---------------------------------|
(leave off bracket part, very last time)
BRIDGE:
I'm not positive on this part, but something like this:
E5, hard a bunch of times on the 6th string,
then play E5 on the 5th string for a few measures
the post-chorus played after the bridge sounds a little different,
like maybe he is sort of picking notes out of Em played on the
5th string
E A D G B e
7 7 9 8 8 7

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 NO DOUBT 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.
