I'm a beginner and find this tab along with a particular Youtube video helpful in learning this beautiful song. Is it okay to post links to Youtube? If so I'll add a comment with the links later.
Permit me to point out two typos/omissions in the lyrics:
1) "How can you look at me as I was just another one of your deals?" Oh wow, the "s?" is missing when viewing this tab in Chrome on macOS but when I just copied and pasted, it showed up. Huh. Let's try the second missing lyric.
2) "Now you just say, "Oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him" Huh, same thing. The "with him." is missing but when I copied and pasted, the "with him" showed up, still missing a period though.
Anyway, thanks for posting this tab, it's helping me.
