 When Jason plays Am7 in the verses he will pull off and hammer on the B string. So the
 for that would be (in this order):
002003
002013
002033
 It sounds cool but takes muscle memory…but it can be played with or without this, it
 fine either way. Both verses and both chorus 1 and 2 are the same, so just refer back to
 tabbed ones and you shouldn’t have any trouble.
,  x2
 (Verse 1)
You  liked it so much in the city
You  know I could not stand it there
You  loved to get lost in the people
And  pretend that they really cared
You  know you're such a bad imposter
Hiding  your wings beneath your  coat
And  I watched your footprints makin patterns
Away  from me into the snow
Now  I don't believe in nothing  anymore
 (Chorus)
Love  is permanent,  not temporary
And  it's driven straight  into our chest
 And buried  much too deep
 To just  pull out  like weeds  in a garden
 It's  permanent
 Well I'm  sorry
 (Verse 2):
So  lately I've been goin crazy
 Tryin to get you off my mind
 Cuz thoughts of you hang just like pictures
 And gather dust over the time
We  hung them up just like real lovers
 And drove our nails into the wall
 Cuz we thought they'd be there forever
 But we weren't permanent at all
And  it's getting much too  hard to see it now
 Love is permanent not temporary
 And it's driven straight into our chest
 And buried much too deep
 To just pull out like weeds in a garden
 It's permanent
 Well I'm sorry
 Love is permanent not temporary
 And it's driven straight into our chest
 And buried much too deep
 To just pull out like weeds in a garden
 It's permanent
 Well I'm sorry
 I'm sorry
 It's permanent
 I'm sorry
 Just continue playing Em, Cadd9, G and D until song is over.
