Heartless Chords

   
This tab should be accurate. I've watched how he plays it live in various videos just to
make sure. He changes what fret he  capos at, but it's usually at the first or without
a capo. He also changes up which chords he uses in different videos, so this is just one 
of the ways that he plays it. There are two ways that you can play it, the first is what
Kris Allen does, and the second is just a simpler variation of the original chords.
Make sure to listen to the song for timing and strumming.

Here is a link to the studio recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGJGTdhbGEM

Standard Tuning

No capo or capo 1, or wherever suits your voice. I think the studio version is capo 1.

I'm fairly certain he ends with 'F' but it can also be ended with 'Am7'
