[Intro]
C   C/B   Dm   Gsus4   G   x2
 
[Verse 1]
C              C/B
I walked across an empty land
Dm                          Gsus4          G
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
C               C/B
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Dm                       Gsus4        G
Sat by the river, and it made me complete
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am               Em
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
F                                         G
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
Am             Em
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
F                                           G
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
 
 
[Verse 2]
C              C/B
I came across a fallen tree
Dm                         Gsus4     G
I felt the branches of it looking at me
C                C/B
Is this the place we used to love?
Dm                               Gsus4    G
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am               Em
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
F                                         G
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
Am             Em
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
F                                           G
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
 
 
[Chorus]
F                 C/E               G
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
F             C/E            G
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
F                 C/E         G
This could be the end of everything
F
So why don't we go
G                     F
Somewhere only we know?
  G                    F    G
Somewhere only we know?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                Em
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
F                                         G
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
Am              Em
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
F                                           G
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm                C/E               G
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Dm            C/E            G
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
Dm                C/E         G
This could be the end of everything
F
So why don't we go?
F             G
So why don't we go?
 
 
Dm     C/E  G  Dm     C/E  G
       Ooh            Ahh
 
[Outro]
Dm                C/E         G
This could be the end of everything
F
So why don't we go
G              C      F
Somewhere only we know?
(Slowly)
  G                  F
Somewhere only we know
G              F     C
Somewhere only we know

Wrong key. Capo might work, havn't tried it but I like to be able to play to the track and then transpose as as desired, but the key is important when it comes to learning a song, in my opinion. Perhaps that's the bit of pianist in me, who knows? Sorry if I offended. Kudos on posting something though.

Just wrong. Look at some of the 5 star ratings. Song starts with A, this tab is in the wrong key or something.
