Tuning:DADGAD
This song can be played in regular tuning, but DADGAD is what i hear it to be in the 
and it just has a fuller sound anyways.  PLEASE comment if you have something to change or add.

The chords played in this song might be different than what you may think they are, so 
put the chords up before as a reference.  there are also some chord variations- one may 
easier in one part of the song, while the other may be more useful in a different progression.

in the chorus, there is a *climb* before "i've been saving your place." it's shown below

I'm just a basket case, that's what we do.
