Chord/Tab song: One Word

Tabbed by: Evert Lancel

On CD the song is played in a lower tuning (Eb). I here put it in standard tuning.
If you want to play along with the song, than you need to either tune your guitar
half a note lower, or make a copy of the song in higher pitch, using some
free sound editing software (Audacity). That's a lot easier than retuning all the
time.

Chords in Standard Tuning:

D add9 sus4 x54030 (for short Dadd9..)
Am9 x05500
Dsus2 xx0230
Asus2 x02200
Em7 022030 (I like 02x030, because the basses come out stronger)
Bbm7 x24232
[G]Csus2 [355433]x35533

The strumming rhythm is very important: The first short strums should be on the bass
tones only and the short strums for the rest of the measure should emphasis the
higher tones (while playing the base strings as well. Although it varies all the time
(just listen well), in a 16th measure it is basically like this
(V strumming downwards, A strumming upwards):

|V-V-VAVA--VAVA--|

(VERSE)
[Dsus2] I close my [Asus2]eyes
And im[Em7]agine you're here
Did it all seem so [Dsus2]hopeless
Given the [Asus2]chance
[Em7]I would ask

Forgive me
I didn't do a [Dsus2]thing to [Asus2]make you [Em7]stay
Bsus4 A add9.. Em7
I didn't say a word to make you stay
If I would have [Bsus4]known
Could I have [Asus2]tried to make it [Em7]easier
But I didn't do a [Bm7]thing or say a [A]word
One [G]word

[Dsus2] And I don't know [Csus2]why you're gone, now you're [Dsus2]gone
No beautiful goo[Csus2]dbye
You will never leave my [Dsus2]mind
And it turns out to [Csus2]be so much different than our [Dsus2]dreams
Csus2 Dadd9..
Now you're, you're a star in heaven

Am9 Dadd9.. Am9

(VERSE)
[Dsus2] My thoughts un[Asus2]said
[Em7]Stuck in my head
And it all feels so [Dsus2]useless
Never for[Asus2]get to [Em7]give all I have
Forgive me
I couldn't do a [Dsus2]thing to [Asus2]make you [Em7]stay
And I couldn't say a [Dsus2]word to [Asus2]make you [Em7]stay
If I could have [Dsus2]known
Could I have [Asus2]tried to make it [Em7]easier
But I couldn't do a [Bm7]thing
Or say a [A]word
One [G]word

[Dsus2] And I don't know [Csus2]why you're gone, now you're [Dsus2]gone
No beautiful go[Csus2]odbey
You will never leave my [Dsus2]mind

Now you're, you''e a star in heaven
