Tuning: Standard


Hi everyone, 

Pretty simple tab as it's just three chords. 

There are a lot of pulloffs in this song as the chords are played so just do them 
how you feel. 
They occur mainly on the A and D chords (Though I swear that I hear them on the Bm 
too) and generally go..

D                       A
E|--2--3--2--| |--0--0--0--|
B|--3--3--3--| |--2--3--2--|
G|--2--2--2--| |--2--2--2--|
D|--0--0--0--| |--2--2--2--|
A|-----------| |--0--0--0--|
E|-----------| |-----------|

There is also often a little run up from A to Bm:


E|--0------2--|
B|--2------3--|
G|--2------4--|
D|--2------4--|
A|--0--0-1-2--|
E|------------|

Pouring my fingers across the keys

Will someone review my salary please?

I'm selling my time to the man who sells style

I'll suck off investors

I'll suck off VCs
