NOTE: He plays a  shape but many times in the video, he removes his index finger from the 2nd fret of
D string.  This doesn't affect sound, but saying it's a  is easiest for the tab's sake.

[Verse 1]

Waking up to k

iss you and no

body’s there

The smell of y

our perfume st

ill stuck in t

he air

It’s hard

Yesterday I th

ought I saw yo

ur shadow runn

ing round

It’s funny how

 things never 

change in this

 old town

So far 

From the stars

[Pre-Chorus]
          
And I want to 

         
tell you every

thing
              
The words I ne

             
ver got to say

            
 the first tim

   
e around
          
And I remember

   
 everything
              
From when we w

             
ere the childr

[Chorus]

If the whole w

orld was watch

dance with you

Drive highways

 and byways to

 be there with

[Break]
   (a single picking pattern) 


[Verse 2] 

I saw that you

 moved on with

 someone new

In the pub tha

t we met, he’s

 got his arms 

around you

It’s so hard

So hard

[Pre-Chorus]
          
And I want to 

         
tell you every

thing
              
The words I ne

[Bridge]

Mmmmmm
           
And I know tha

t it’s wrong

That I can’t m

But there’s something about you

[Chorus]

If the whole w
