      G      Am    Em                      C
I'm a first timer   wishing I was someone else
       G          C    D    G
When I see you by  yourself
     G   Am  Em                           C
In a coridor  where you find yourself not blocked
       G         C   D   G
By the doors you  locked
 
Am                            C
 You won't do what the doctor ordered
Am             C       D
 You won't see someone else
        Am      C
Come on back to me
Am  C       Em
 My pride tomorrow
 
            G     Am    Em                           C
You say you feel hollow  and you know it's cause you are
       G        C D  G
Well at least so far
 
Solo
G Am Em C
G C D G
 
Am                   C
 I think of you with hesitation
Am          C        D
 I think of you too hard
        Am      C
Come on back to me
Am         C        Em
 But don't make me sorry
 
      G      Am   Em                        C
I'm a first timer  wishing I'd been someone else
      G      C    D    G Em
Seeing you by yourself
      G      C    D    G
Seeing you by yourself

This bit goes: D Am, You won't do what the doctor ordered F C D You won't see someone else Am C Come on back to me Am C/B C My pride tomorrow

Lack of accuracy. Very simplistic while inaccurate. Em: sounds like it should be an E in this key but Elliott plays Emaj. D should be D7, and the bass note is left out - must play an F# bass note, listen to bass note progression. C should be paired with a G bass note, which is a staple of Elliott's songs. In the bridge, the C should be a form of B7 with a possible F# bass.

Capo 1! =)
