AM7                 EM7
Tell me baby tell me
         AM7
Are you still on the stoop
                      EM7
Watching the windows close
AM7                          EM7
I've not seen seen you lately
         AM7
On the street, by the beach
                    EM7
Or places we used to go
 
AM7 (A)
I've a picture of you
          B                   EM7
On our favorite day by the seaside
AM7
There's a bird stealing bread
      B                            EM7
That I brought out from under my nose
 
AM7                 EM7
Tell me baby tell me
         AM7
Does his company make
               EM7
Light of a rainy day
AM7                      EM7
How I've missed you lately
         AM7
And the way we would speak
                        EM7
And all that we wouldn't say
 
AM7 (A)
Do his hands in your hair
        B                     EM7
Feel a lot like a thing you believe in
     AM7                          B
Or a bit like a bird stealing bread
                       EM7
Out from under your nose
 
AM7                 EM7
Tell me baby tell me
       AM7
Do you carry the words
                    EM7
Around like a key or change
AM7                      EM7
I've been thinking lately
      AM7
of a night on the stoop
                        EM7
and all that we wouldn't say
 
AM7 (A)
If I see you again
       B
On the street, by the beach
       EM7
In the evening
AM7
Will you fly like a
 B
bird stealing bread
                  EM7
Out from under my nose
 
Thanks all of you. I hope this is right.

The "B" should be played as a bar chord: --4-- --6-- --6-- --6-- --4-- --4--
+3

I was messing around with the fretting and to my ear, this sounds a little closer: E: ----- A: ----- ----- ----- --1-- --1-- --1-- --2-- --2-- ----- --X-- --X--
+1

The riff he plays at the end goes: E|--------------------- B|--------------------- G|--2-1-------------1-- D|------4-2---1-2-4---- A|----------4---------- E|--------------------- then back into the EM7 chord
