So this is a rough idea of the song. It's not 100% correct but it's pretty close. It's easy song to play and sing so hopefully this helps some people of you guys out. The only that may trip some people up is the strumming but it's easy once you hear the song a few times.
Verse X 5 (1:12 - 1:49) You'll play this one extra time before John begins singing That's the reason for playing five times instead of four. e|---3--3---3--3---3--3---3--3----------------------------------------------| B|---3--3---3--3---3--3---3--3----------------------------------------------| G|----------2--2------------------------------------------------------------| D|---2--2-----------------2--3----------------------------------------------| A|---2--2----------2-2----3--3----------------------------------------------| E|-----------------3-3------------------------------------------------------|
Pre-Chorus - One full strum (1:50) e|----3---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----3---------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----2---------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bridge - Right after the chorus play this, around 2:15. Keep playing until 2:20 and John singing again, "And every day..." e|----3--3--3--3------------------------------------------------------------| B|----3--3--3--3------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----2--2--2--2------------------------------------------------------------| A|----3--3--3--3------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then play this progression for the rest of the bridge. Play this three times until about 2:37. e|----3---3---3---3---------------------------------------------------------| B|----3---3---3---3---------------------------------------------------------| G|--------2-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|----2-------2-------------------------------------------------------------| A|----3-------2---2---------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------3---------------------------------------------------------|
Play each chord one with one full strum at "To hell with..." (Around 2:37) e|----3---3---3-------------------------------------------------------------| B|----3---3---3-------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------2-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|----2-------2-------------------------------------------------------------| A|----3-------2-------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
