    Try as I can, I can't find this in record stores anywhere.  Anyway, the intro
    is just Am sus2 - Am - G, something like
    
    e---------------------------------------------------------------------
    B--------0-----1-------0-----1------0----------1----------------------
    G------2-------------2------------0---2-----0--2----------------------
    D----2-------------2---------------------------2----------------------
    A--0-------------0--------------3--------------0----------------------
    E---------------------------------------------------------------------
                     ^ From what I recall, it sounds as if there is a change
    in the bass note here, but I have never been able to figure out anything
    that sounds good other than keeping the bass note the same (namely, an A).
    Whenever I hear the song, it sounds as if the bass note has changed from
    the first measure, but as I said nothing I try sounds right.
    
    The main song goes like
    
           Am
    We had broken up for good just an hour before
          G
    Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
    
    Pretty simple, huh?  You can figure out the strumming pattern.  It changes
    to arpeggiation (instead of strumming) the 3rd repetition in the verse.
    
    The chorus goes like
    
    F   F             C                  G
           They don't write em like that anymore
    Dm  Dm                 C                  G     (break into arpeggiation)
           They just don't write em like that anymore
    
    
    That's all I know.  Hope it helps.
