because of the effects the lead guitar for the chorus and pre-chorus
was hard to figure out so those parts may not be exactly right but 
they work well for me.

u can play this song one fret up and half a step down too but
I find this to be easier.

	Any guy who's ever been still in love with a girl long after she's left him knows this song as though he wrote it. I love how he says "there's always room for one more mistake"... it's like he's saying that even if it doesn't work out, he still wants to try again... and again, and again if that's what it takes. I do believe in second chances, and I do believe the years forget.
