This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

First off, I don't claim this as my work. I am combining the correct parts

from the tabs that are already on the site. It doesn't make sense to have

to go to 3 tabs for one song to get the right info for the right parts.

Most of the tab is from Clumzee_EQ@yahoo.com - at least that's what it says

at the bottom of his tab. Solo and violin solo are from Peter Earnshaw.

The barre chords (5ths) at the end are from a tab by Vince A.

(Verse 1)

Am

Call me out

C

You stayed inside

G

One you love

D/F#

Is where you hide

Am C

Shot me down as I flew by

G

Crash and burn

D/F# F Fm

I think sometimes you forget where the heart is

Am C

Answer no to these questions

G D/F#

Let her go, learn a lesson

Am C

It's not me, you're not listening now

G D/F#

Can't you see something's missing?

F Fm

You forget where the heart is

(chorus)

C* B*

Take you away from that empty apartment

Am F

You stay and forget where the heart is

C* B* Am F

Someday if ever you love me you'd say it's okay

(verse 2)

Am C

Waking up from this nightmare

G D/F#

How's your life, what's it like there?

Am C

Is it all what you want it to be?

G D/F#

Does it hurt when you think about me?

F Fm

And how broken my heart is

(Chorus)

(Bridge) - **one guitar arpeggiates the chords throughout the bridge**

***rest of song played with distortion starting with (C*) ***

C B*

It's okay to be angry and never let go

Am F

It only gets harder the more that you know

(C*) B*

When you get lonely if no one's around

A5 F5

You know that I'll catch you when you're falling down

C* B*

We came together but you left alone

A5 F5

And I know how it feels to walk out on your own

C* B*

Maybe someday I will see you again

A5 F5

And you'll look me in my eyes and call me your friend
