- the song is written in 4/4 time
- drop the second "B" string down one whole step to "A"
- raise the fifth "A" string up one whole step to "B"
- and drop the sixth "E" string down one whole step to "D"
(I hate to alter so many strings, but it really helps)
 
These notes are taken straight from the chords played on the piano, and evidently isn't
easy to play on guitar, which is probably why it's played on the piano:
 
 
Chords:   1    2    3    4        5    6    7    8

I couldn't find the names of all the chords so I just named them chords 1-8.
 
 
Intro:
    1    2    3    4        5    6    7    8
Beat/bass comes in:
    1    2    3    4        5    6    7    8
    1    2    3    4        5    6    7    8
 
Use a wah-wah pedal to create the "wah-wah" effect. Sounds fine w/o it though.
(for the pedal, step down then up for each note/chord, except for the last riff where you
 step down on the first chord, lift up on the second chord, then down/up for the last three.)

Wah Wah Wah:
    1    2    3    4        5    6    7    8
 
For the first four vocal lines just play the bass part:
 
    Bb             A              D               G
e|---------------------------------------------------------|

D|---3x-------------2x--------------7x--------------0x-----|
A|---------------------------------------------------------|
E|--3x---3x--------2x---2x--------7x----7x--------0x---0x--|
 
 
Bb                   A
  It might not be the right time
D                    G
  I might not be the right one
              Bb                   A
  But there's something about us I want to say
                D                           G
  Cause there's something between us anyway
 
Back to chords:
 
1                    2
  I might not be the right one
3                     4
  It might not be the right time
              5                       6
  But there's something about us I've got to do
7                            8
  Some kind of secret I will share with you
1                         2
  I need you more than anything in my life
3                         4
  I want you more than anything in my life
5                            6
  I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
7                         8
  I love you more than anyone in my life
 
 
Solo is made for this special tuning:
(if you want the solo in standard tuning just subtract 2 from every number on the B
and add 5 to every number on every string :)
 
e|-----------0---5-3--------0-------0----------------5-7--7-8-7---------0-3-0-0----------0--|
B|------3-5------------3-5---3-5-----5-5-3-3-----5h7------------10-7---3-------3-3---3-5----|
G|--0-2-------------------------------------2-0-2---------------------2-----------0-2-------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
Solo repeat over chords:
 
    1    2    3    4        5    6    7    8
    1    2    3    4        5    6    7    8
    1    2    3    4        5    6    7    8
    1    2    3    4        fade out........
