 here's the chords, if you choose to play them during the verse instead of that riff.
 x2
Think of  me
Anyway  you want
I  can  be
 The problem if  that's easier
In your  head
Move  the pieces  around
Things I've said
Turn  the memory  upside down
And  it makes  it better I  know
But  sometimes  it's hard  to swallow
In  time I will  fade away
In  time I won't  hear what you say
In  time, but time  takes time you know
 x2
Tell your  friends
 The things they  wanna hear  and see
Start the drums
Band against  the enemy
And  in time I  will fade away
In  time I won't  care what you say
In  time, but time  takes time you know
In  your head
 Move  the pieces  round
 Things  I've said
Turn  the memory upside  down
It  might make  it better, I  know
 But sometimes it's  hard  to swallow
In  time I will  fade away
In  time I won't  hear what you say
In  time, but time  takes time you know
Time  takes time you know
 repeat the G-A thing 'till it ends
