this song was played in the movie reality bites and it was the actor
ethan hawke who sang it . i really like this song . but in the movie
he just plays verse 1 and then the chorus/outro . the first chorus ,
which was not played in the movie , has totally different chords
than the chorus/outro . enjoy!

when you’re playing the a chord , most of the time
you should play it like this :

A A * A A * A
E | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B | – – 2 – 2 – – – 2 – – – 3 – – 3 – – 3 – 2 – 3 – 2 – – 2 – – – 2 – – – 3 – – 3 – 2 – – – |
G | – – 2 – 2 – – – 2 – – – 2 – – 2 – – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 – – 2 – – – 2 – – – 2 – – 2 – 2 – – – |
D | – – 2 – 2 – – – 2 – – – 4 – – 4 – – 4 – 2 – 4 – 2 – – 2 – – – 2 – – – 4 – – 4 – 2 – – – |
A | – – 0 – 0 – – – 0 – – – 0 – – 0 – – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – – 0 – – – 0 – – – 0 – – 0 – 0 – – – |
E | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |

it’s played like that in all the verses and the intro .
the only comfortable way to play this is to use your
index finger to play the a chord , then when you play the
A * you can just hammer on the D and B strings with your
middle and ring finger . like keith richards does .

when you see something like ’d ( sus2 ) ’ it just means
play the D chord but throw in the Dsus2 a bit . a lot
of times he plays a and then throws in A Asus2 for
instance .

ok , then you should be ready to play the song .
