NOTE: This tab is for the STUDIO version of the song. when she plays it LIVE
Zandi Holup plays it a little differently by adding a G chord in the
chorus between the C and D chord so the progression is C G D Em. it is
played how I have it tabbed for the STUDIO version though.

You'll be the death of me
