Tuning: Standard: CAPO 4

Here's a link to a video of me playing it when I first tabbed it out... this is before I
the hammer-ons
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4_tPIWCyK0

This is my first tab. I know it's not 100% correct but I know it sounds pretty good. So
don't send me a bunch of e-mails telling me it's not right because I'm aware of that.
it's a pretty simple song in terms of the chords. Singing the rhythm correctly with the 
can be a little trickier for some.

The same 4 chords repeat throughout the song. There is one place where it changes a
bit... which is where he says "Then what makes love the exception"... you repeat the 3rd and
chords again.

  
the sake of si

      
mplicity this 

 (  
is what I'll c

        
all them)

If you want to throw some hammer-ons in, the tab looks like this: (I spaced the rhythm
a little bit to show the chord changes)
