Great song. I found a better way to play this than the tabs that were already on UG, and
thought I'd share it with you guys.
I believe, that with this tab you can play very close to the original song, without
being a guitar god in any way.
Listen to the song and figure out the strumming pattern, it's real easy.
I didn't know what the sus-variations of the Amaj7 and F#m chords are called, so I just
named them "Amaj7" and "F#m". See the diagram below.
Have fun

Intro: A-Asus4-A, Amaj7-"Amaj7"-Amaj7, F#m-"F#m"-F#m, E x 2
Verse:
Was it a hu[A]ntsman[Asus4] or a p[A]layer
Amaj7 "Amaj7" Amaj7
That made you pay the cost
F#m "F#m" F#m
That now assumes relaxed positions
And p[E]rostitutes your l[A]oss?
Were you t[A]orture[Asus4]d by your o[A]wn thirst
Amaj7 "Amaj7" Amaj7
In those pleasures that you seek
F#m "F#m" F#m
That made you Tom the curious
That m[E]akes you James the w[A]eak?
A-Asus4-A, Amaj7-"Amaj7"-Amaj7, F#m-"F#m"-F#m, E
Chorus:
And you c[E]laim you got something g[A-Asus4-A-Asus2]oing
Some[E]thing you call [A-Asus4-A-Asus2]unique[D]
But [D]I've seen your self-pity [A-Asus4-A-Asus2]showing[E]
As t[E]he tears rolled down your[A-Asus4-A] cheeks
A-Asus4-A, Amaj7-"Amaj7"-Amaj7, F#m-"F#m"-F#m, E
Soon you know I'll leave you
And I'll never look behind
'Cos I was born for the purpose
That crucifies your mind
So con, convince your mirror
As you've always done before
Giving substance to shadows
Giving substance ever more
And you assume you got something to offer
Secrets shiny and new
But how much of you is repetition
That you didn't whisper to him too
