After 5 shows of Jack in 7 days I manged to see a few errors in my tabs, one of them was in  
one of the main chords for this song.. look at the chords in the intro and verse for the  
difference... the Em, is not and Em until the chorus kind of bit, it is actually an Em9th or  
Em7th or something.. as shown in the chord chart below... enjoy..

Guitar Intro  
Em* A repeat  
 
Em*  
Well he's not necessarily trying to say that he minds it  
 A  
But someone plays evil tricks on that kid  
Em*  
Well he's not necessarily trying to say god can't be trusted  
 A  
But someone plays evil tricks on that kid  
Em*  
As certain situations scream for deviations  
 A  
But somehow we always get stuck in the middle  
 Em*  
Of this and that and then he should try less  
A  
Every time he's rejected then he loses affection  
 
 
C  
But don't we all, don't we just got to give a little time  
A D Em D  
Maybe give a friend a call instead of making him confused  
A D Em D  
What a terrible thing for you to do-ooo  
A D Em D  
What an awful thing for you to say-eee  
A D A G F# F em(1)  
What a terrible thing for you to relay  
 
 (bass intro and drums)  
 
Em*  
Well I know some people's they got a little less than nothing  
 A  
Never still find some to spare  
Em*  
And other people got more than they could use  
A  
But they don't share  
Em*  
And some people got problems man  
 A  
They got awful complications  
Em*  
Other people got perfect situations  
A  
With no provocation  
 
  
C  
But don't we all, don't we just got to give a little time  
A D Em D  
Maybe give a friend a call instead of making him confused  
A D Em D  
What a terrible thing for you to do-ooo  
A D Em D  
What an awful thing for you to say-eee  
A D  
What a terrible thing for you  
Em D  
Confused  
A D Em D  
What a terrible thing for you to do-ooo  
A D Em D  
What an awful thing for you to say-eee  
A D A G F# F em(1)  
What a terrible thing for you to relay
