I would Love to know who gave this review a 3 star lol. This one is clearly the most comprehensive version yet. Your Chords in the last chorus are the closest ive read to the song yet. The other versions posted seem to over simplify the song, and its not quite as simple as it sounds.
Anyway, good stuff mate, keep it up, ignore anything below 5 stars.

Simply suberb. A brilliant acoustic take on this piano driven track (which is never easy). Easily the best tab for this song I've seen (...and I've seen a few).
Well done. ***** from me

Great tab. The Bm/A sounds slightly off to me but close enough.
I think the lyrics should be
Stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
5*
