This song is a little tricky to play, and likewise a bit tricky to explain. So I'm going to format this in a
way that is as easy to understand as possible.
Since There are a LOT of chords(note they are mostly variations of the same chords around their respective
scale), I'll split them up into the intro ones, then the others.
I would HIGHLY recommend learning these first, and getting comfortable with moving your hand around the
chord progression below. Before you even look at the tab.

So I can say...
(The Chords are repeated a second time, with the new lyrics to finish the intro)
That I, I, oh I
That I need you so
'Cause right now you know

And I'm obsessed with you
Then I fell to the ground
And you smiled at me
and said...

Db6(11)
I don't want to see you cry
D#m7(b5) Ab6(11)

Fm7(b5) D#dim D#m7(b5)
She said I love you 'till the day that I Die
G#m7(b5) Db6(11)
Well maybe Shes Right...
D#m7(b5) Ab6(11)
'Cause I don't wanna feel like I'm not me

And to be honest I don't even know why
D#m7(b5) G#m7(b5) Db6(11)
I let myself get down in the first place
(this progression repeats until the end of the song, even through the bridge. Rex randomly finger picks
portions of the chords. So play around to get the right sound you want!)
