Play the intro/verse bit four times through the verse. There are some 
minor variations here and there (mostly those last two bars). If you're 
picky... Well, sorry, but I'm not, so you're on your own with those. Play 
the bridge bit through the 'Take me with you' part, but for the last bar 
grab a pick and play:

|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|-----------------|
|---------3-2-----|


Chorus bit (Well, you don't _have_ to use a pick here, but I do)

                            (I think :))
  Em Aadd9           G       Aadd2/add4
