A|--2--4--2--4-------------------------2--4----2--
E|--------------------------------2---------------

(Bass notes)
(F#)                  (A)
You know he's not the one for you
    (D)                (B)
But that's no fault of mine
(F#)                (A)
He knows that I'm a friend of yours
            (D)                   (B)  (riff 2)
But doesn't know I've crossed the line

Riff 2:
E|--4--5--7----------
B|-----------4h5-----
G|----------------6--
D|-------------------
A|-------------------
E|-------------------

(F#)                (A)
I know you've got a man in the picture
       (D)               (B)  (riff 2)
But it hasn't stopped me yet
(F#)             (A)                (D)   (C#)   B
We've all been in one situation or another we regret

Starting here, Jay (presumably) also plays these chords:

F#m - x-x-x-11-10-9
A   - x-x-11-9-10-x
D   - x-x-12-11-10-x
B   - x-x-9-8-7-x


            F#m       A          D             B
Now I'm the other man,  no one's rooting for me
           F#m       A        D          B
If I'm the other man,  nature will abhor me


Repeat intro with chords

You know I wanna keep my distance
Cause it's happening anyway
He knows you're gonna drift apart
And there's nothing he can say
I know that he's a stand up guy
But that's none of my concern
We've all been in one situation or another
And it's my turn

To be the other man, no one sympathises
When you're the other man, everyone despises

The main riff changes here, I can't figure that out, but here are the
chords for it:

                A                        F#m
He's gonna find out that the rumours are true
                A                    D
Though they are still unbeknownst to you
           F#m                    A
He'll find out so I'll tell you because
               D             B
You gotta find out before he does

The next part has a keyboard or something playing this:
E|--17--16--14--12----------------17--16--14--12----------------
B|------------------14--12------------------------14h15p14------
G|--------------------------14------------------------------12--
D|--------------------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------

I know you've got a man in the picture
But it hasn't stopped me yet
We've all been in one situation or another we regret

Repeat first chorus

Yeah no one sympathizes
When you're the other man, everyone despises

Over this part, I think the chords are the same as the "he's gonna find
out that the rumours are true" part:

We've all been in one situation or another (etc)

End on x0120x (I don't know what that is called, Asus2(b5) I guess)
