Default Glass of Water

I was just jamming on the guitar, when something sounded familiar, thought I heard Glass of Water in it. Started tabbing it out. It may not be accurate at all, but it is definitely a way to play it..

I'm not that experienced in tabbing.. so correct me and complete it as you like

Code:
CAPO on 2nd fret.

G		3-2-0-0-0-3
C		X-3-2-0-1-0
F		1-3-3-2-1-1
Em		0-2-2-0-0-0
Am              0-0-2-2-1-0


Verses:

C         G              C
Scared of losin' all the time

   G             C
He wrote it in a letter

   G               C     G
He was a friend of mine

Continue the verses that way..


-------------------------------

Pre-Chorus thingy:

F                     
 Will I see heaven in mine?

G     G     G      G
Ooooh ooooh oooooh I


-------------------------------

Guitar Riff / Chorus:

C - Em - Am - F (repeat)

For chorus (From: son.... don't ask) the root note are:

D - F# - B - G

What the exact chords are you can better find out.
Because I found those out by playing the bass.

With capo on 2 it is:

C - E - A - F

Mostly are powerchords/5th chords.

EDIT:

Ooh I see you already had that, when i scrolled in your chords!

Nice work!

Well, I can't make music, but in piano-chord form.

The beginning verse is just alternating D - A, back and forth.

At "Stars in heaven align." it goes to G or Gsus, not sure which, then "Oh oh oh" is repeated A.

CHORUS

D - D/F# - Bm - G (repeat)

I'm been studying Chris's piano bridge using the 4music video...

To me it looks/sounds like he's arpeggiating a D chord (with some other notes in between) all the way through with his right hand, and on the left he plays D Major (the video shows him kind of alternating between the keys D and F#) and then works down to Dsus2 (notes F# down to E and after that down to D [alternating with the A note]). Chris then repeats this, only he keeps playing the E note and switches to an A major chord before the solo (same chords as the chorus obviously).

After that, Chris just fiddles around with the chord D before playing a G chord at the very end.

I didn't describe it very clearly. it's basically fast arpeggios with the right hand and chords D, Dsus2, A with the left.
