Verse 1 - Guitar (* = piano notes)
A*    B*   Em
Where were you
     D/F# G         C
When everything was falling apart?
       Em
All my days
     D/F#  G      C
Were spent by the telephone
         Em
It never rang
    D/F#  G      C
And all I needed was a call
         Em
It never came
       D/F#      G         C      
To the corner of First and Amistad

Chorus
Em           C
Lost and insecure
G           D/F#
You found me,   you found me
Em           C
Lying on the floor
G         D/F#
Surrounded,   surrounded
Em                C
Why’d you have to wait?
G              D/F#
Where were you?    Where were you?
Em            C
Just a little late
G           D/F# G         Em
You found me,    you found me

Interlude - Same as intro

Verse 2 - Same chords as V.1
But in the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who’s ever known
Who I am, who I’m not, who I want to be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me

Chorus

Interlude
D/F# C - 2x

Bridge
           D/F#             C
From early morning the city breaks
          D/F#                            C
I’ve been calling for years and years and years and years
                         D/F#                           C
And you never left me no messages, you never sent me no letters
                     D/F#
You got some kind of nerve
             C
Taking all I was

Chorus - 1st half piano followed by full band 1x through

Outro
          Em C G D/F#
You found me
Em                C
Why’d you have to wait?
G         D/F#   G    Em
To find me,   to find me

I personally like playing the C as Cadd9, the Em as Em7, and the G as Gsus2,
but I just put them in their standard form throughout the tab -- play
whatever sounds best to you!
