This song is relatively easy to play, but it took me a little while to work everything out. There's probably
lots of mistakes and stuff, but I apologise as I worked this out by listening to the song on the telly a few
times. I don't usually post tabs if I don't know that they're 100% correct, but I thought i'd do it just
this once as no-one else has posted this song and it's really good.
If you have any comments, corrections, questions or whatever, e-mail me (my address is above) and i'll do my
best to reply.

love and give me some skin if we ain't got that then we ain't got much and we ain't got nothing
Verse 2: (as above)
You're left with nothing and nothings what you've got when you ain't got no-one, no-one.
You could've had the lot and if it's over today, you'll never get that thing you had together, no-way.
You only get it once.

And thats about it, like I said, I know some of it isn't quite right, but I don't think it's that far off.
