Verse 1 - Guitar (* = piano notes)
A* B* Em
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
It never rang
And all I needed was a call
It never came
To the corner of First and Amistad
Chorus
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
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
- 2x

Bridge
From early morning the city breaks
I’ve been calling for years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages, you never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all I was
Chorus - 1st half piano followed by full band 1x through
Outro
You found me
Why’d you have to wait?
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!
