PRE-VERSE RIFF:

Tell me about your love affairs
D F
Tell me about your moral resignations
C C G D C Bb F
Oh.... uh-oh.... oh, oh, oh, oh
F C G

[NOTE: The above part designated by the star is a simple arpeggio part that alternates
two notes: Eb (4th fret, second string) on the b-string and open high-e (1st string).
the Eb first, then use straight eighth notes for four whole beats.

Also, on the final "All day" part, skip the last Am chord and go straight to the Chorus riff:
C E Am G
CHORUS/OUTRO:
C E Am G
Is this love of ours a lie?
C E Am G
Is it killing me alive?
C E Am G
Is this love of ours a lie?

C E Am G
And sequester all the pain
C E Am G
Is this love of ours alive?
Same chords the rest of the way.
