[Verse 1]
E          B             C#m          G#m A
 Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
E          B           C#m     A
 Sometimes I feel like my only friend
       E      B            C#m     G#m A
Is the city I live in, the city of an-gels
E         B       C#m       A     Emaj7
Lonely as I am, together we cry
 
[Verse 2]
  E            B              C#m         G#m A
I drive on her streets 'cause she's my companion
  E                B                C#m         A
I walk through her hills 'cause she knows who I am
    E            B             C#m       G#m A
She sees my good deeds and she kisses me win-dy
E       B          C#m       A     Emaj7
I never worry, now that is a lie
 
[Chorus]
      F#m                  E    B*     F#m
Well, I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
F#m                    E     B*      F#m
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
F#m                  E    B*     F#m
I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
F#m                    E     B*      F#m       E  B    C#m    G#m A  E  B   C#m  A
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way, yeah, yeah, yeah
 
[Verse 3]
     E         B                  C#m    G#m A
It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
     E         B          C#m      A
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
   E            B             C#m      G#m   A
At least I have her love, the city she loves me
E         B       C#m       A     Emaj7
Lonely as I am, together we cry
 
[Chorus]
      F#m                  E    B*     F#m
Well, I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
F#m                    E     B*      F#m
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
      F#m                  E    B*     F#m
Well, I don't ever want to feel like I did that day
F#m                    E     B*      F#m       A  Am    G     Fmaj7
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way, yeah, yeah, yeah
 
[Interlude]
A   Am         G    Fmaj7
Ohh no, no no, yeah yeah
A    Am        G    Fmaj7
Love me, I say yeah yeah

[Bridge]
A                Am
Under the bridge downtown
G           Fmaj7
...is where I drew some blood
A                Am
Under the bridge downtown
G          Fmaj7
...I could not get enough
A                Am
Under the bridge downtown
G         Fmaj7
...forgot about my love
A                Am
Under the bridge downtown
G         Fmaj7
...I gave my life away
 
[Outro]
A     Am    G    Fmaj7
(way) yeah, yeah yeah
A   Am            G    Fmaj7
Ohh no, no no no, yeah yeah
A   Am             G    Fmaj7
Ohh no, I said, oh yeah yeah
A  Am             G  Fmaj7
      Here I stay

There isn't a good tab of this song anywhere on the internet. You nailed the chords perfectly, but I need to know the little hammer-ons/pulloff's in between chords. 5 stars on a great job though.

Yes, the Am in the Outro is a C. Also the F# in the Chorus a F#m but I think, he just forgot the m :D Apart from that it is a beautiful work.
