[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

[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]
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

[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
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
[Outro]
Em C G D/F#
You found me
Em C
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!
