[Thanks to David Smillie & Mike James for the lyrics.]
[All the E measures pretty much follow the riff that I've tabbed out at
 the end.  The F# is more of an F#5, and the A that follows it is kind of
 A5-ish.  The B in the bridge could be a B7, but that's not important.]

Maybe I'll do things right, ...
You'll learn to cry like me, baby ...
Maybe I'll start tonight ...

TAB:

Here's the main riff for        The A measures in the middle
the E measures:                 of the verse (NOT the end) are
                                pretty much the same:

E ----------------|             E ----------------|
B ----------------|             B ----------------|
G ----------------|             G --------0-------|
D --------0-------|             D ----------2-4-2-|
A ----------2-4-2-|             A 0-0-3-4---------|
E 0-0-3-4---------|             E ----------------|
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .                 ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .

I think the B in the bridge is like this:

E ----------------|----------------|
B ----------------|----------------|
G --------2-------|----------------|
D ----1-4---4-6-4-|----------------|
A 2-2-------------|2-2-0-0---------|
E ----------------|--------4-4-2-2-|
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .

I'm not at all sure about the A measures
in the bridge, but I think they might be
something like this:

E ----------------|
B ----------------|
G ----------------|
D 2-2-4-2-5-2-4-2-|
A 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
E ----------------|
