You know i just tried that version and it was kinda tough the first couple of times. I'd say it took me about 20mins. to get used to it but yeah, its pretty tough. Its the whole switching back to the Bm to start the verse over again that's really hard. I had never noticed the standard version on the site so thanks DMBFan63.

I agree that it is really tough to play that song with a capo unless you have a cut-away.

I think it sounds just fine with standard tuning and a capo on 7. It's not going to be quite as nice as raised b, but it's certainly acceptable to me. Def one of my favorite songs to play of late.

I'm pretty sure he is talking about the VH1 session things where he played a few of the new songs.

As far as that video. I think that's the Live on VH1, or whatever it was called. I watched that on VH1.com the other day. He plays Stay Or Leave, and Oh, which are both in Raised B.

Instead of that barre chord, I play it with a capo on VII, and just play

-3-
-3-
-0-
-4-
-5-
---

Then slide down to the open C chord for the "remember we used to dance..."

Sounds fine to me. And I don't have to warp the shit out of myself tuning to raised B.
