K so I wanted to make a simpler version of this tab. Just chords and the little sequence
of notes afterwards.
The strumming pattern is basically Down Down up up up
down(pulloff) down
If you listen to the song, it makes a lot more sense then if you read that right there ^^^
e|---1-------1-----1--1----1-3h1-1--|-----------------------------------------|

G|---2-------2----------------------|-----------------------------------------|

I like to switch between the endings to the chords thing

Ditto for this one. (Less frequently, but it still sounds fine.)(Also can pull of to
open e)

[Dm]One life to live but we're doing it wrong
You see, [C]got my brother down cause it's nothing to me[G][G]
[Dm]Everyone saying that it's wrong to cheat
But there's n[C]o other way to get my life on easy st[G]reet[G]
Some[Dm]one else telling you what you're living for
Been k[C]nocking you down, now you're looking for more[G][G]
The o[Dm]nly sound you hear is a closing door
Been loo[C]king for peace but they're bringing you w[G]ar[G]
[Dm]Rich man cryin' cause his money's time
And po[C]or man's smilin' cause he knows he ain't blind[G][G]
There's a [Dm]man over there says he's tougher than me
But [C]I got eyes that can see through fantasy[G][G]
CHORUS
[Dm] I think my life is passing me [G]by
[Dm] I think my life is passing me [G]by
GUITAR INTERLUDE OVER NORMAL GUITAR STRUMMING
[Dm]Take it all back cause it don't mean nothing
If you g[C]ive it away and you're looking for something bac[G]k[G]
Wake [Dm]up every morning when there's nothing there
No re[C]ason to die but no reason to care[G][G]
Some[Dm]one else telling you what you're living for
Been k[C]nocking you down, now you're looking for more[G][G]
The o[Dm]nly sound you hear is a closing door
Been loo[C]king for peace but they're bringing you w[G]ar[G]
[Dm]Rich man cryin' cause his money's time
And po[C]or man's smilin' cause he knows he ain't blind[G][G]
[Dm] I think my life is passing me [G]by
