[Verse 1]
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I write mostly on hotel paper
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7
Knowing that my thoughts will never leave this room
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7
I’d be out of line telling you, “leave her”
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7
So I lie lonely surrounded by you ooh.
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7
By you (By) ooh (you) (By you)
[Verse 2]
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7
Lately I can’t be happy for no one
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7
They think I need some time to myself ooh
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7
I try to smile but I can’t remember
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
And I know tomorrow there’ll be nothing else ooh
[Chorus] (strum each chord four times)
D Em7 Cadd9
And I
G D Em7 Cadd9
I wanted to be
G D Em7 Cadd9 G D Em7 Cadd9 G
Giving you everything that she’s not giving
D Em7 Cadd9
And I
G D Em7 Cadd9
I wanted to see
G Bm F#m G
‘Cause I didn’t believe what I’d been hearing
[Interlude]
Cadd9 G
D Em7 Cadd9 G
D Em7 Cadd9 G
[Verse 3]
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7
You turned out to be more than I bargained for
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7
And I can tell that you need to get away
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em7
Forgive me if I admit that I’d love to love you
D Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
We both realized it way too late ooh
[Chorus] (strum each chord four times)
D Em7 Cadd9
And I
G D Em7 Cadd9
I wanted to be
G D Em7 Cadd9 G D Em7 Cadd9 G
Giving you everything that she’s not giving
D Em7 Cadd9
And I
G D Em7 Cadd9
I wanted to see
G Bm F#m G Cadd9
‘Cause I didn’t believe what I’d been hearing
[Outro]
Am Cadd9
Maybe this wind blowing in just came from the ocean

I'm pretty sure this is correct. I tabbed it out from the live video on the
enhanced part of the CD. Please email me if you find any errors.

Almost entirely perfect, great job! Instead of Em7, I play Dsus4, and there are a couple places where I use C instead
of Cadd9, but they all sound correct. =)
