Intro: A D/F# A D/F#
verse:
A                      A
I partied hard on the first tier
D/F#                            D/F#
But i burned a lot of bridges and then
A                          A
I'm a photograph that was torn in half
D/F#                         D/F#
and I'll never be invited again.
G              D             E            A
But hey, it's okay, I don't care, I don't mind
G                          D - D/E - D/F# - D/E
You know I'm gonna be just fine.

chorus:
A                           E
cos when the world shut me out
            F#m                     D
I was pretty lucky that you let me in
    A                   E          D   D
You're all i need to face another day
A                    E
whenever i'm in a bind,
                  F#m                   B7
there's really only one thing i keep in mind
 D                       D - D/E - D/F# - D/E
You're all i need to survive

bridge:
F#m                                       Riff A
I used to sit and worry that i'd ruin my reputation
D                                      A    E
it was the hardest thing i ever had to face
F#m                                          Riff A
But now i'm free of worry and i'm free of all complication
D                          D
it's simple but it's true, it's all because of you


chorus and verse are just repetitive... this is the song slimmed down to one guitar and 
actually two or three in the song.  but this sounds really close, and sounds pretty damn 
if i can say so myself...so enjoy.  and remember to rate/comment.
