VERSE 2
On the drive back here, I was worried over nothing.
On the drive back there, tears spilling over something
When I imagined you
Body next to another
In the door, over there, build yourself a fright (?)
In the door, can I hear you saying you don't want to fight (?)
When I imagine you
Body next to another
PRE-CHORUS
Stop crying to the ocean
Stop worrying over me
Stop worrying over nothing
Stop worrying over me
CHORUS
So, it's been so long since you've said,
'Well, I know what I want,
And what I want's right here with you'
It's been so long since you said,
'Well, I know what I want,
And what I want's right here with you'
VERSE 3
In a flashback, you just brought attention to the mess
In a flash, hear you talk, begging me to understand (?)
If I imagine you
Body next to another
You drop in for a minute
And I'm sorry that I didn't
Drop in sooner just to see you, and see what you've been doing.
If I imagine you
Body next to another
CHORUS
So, it's been so long since you've said,
'Well, I know what I want,
And what I want's right here with you'
It's been so long since you said,
'Well, I know what I want,
And what I want's right here with you'
It's been so long since you've said,
'Well, I know what I want,
And what I want's right here with you'
It's been so long since you said,
'Well, I know what I want,
And what I want's right here with you'

version 4
Tuning: Standard. No capo.
This tab is relatively easy to play and I decided that I'd attempt to write it down for
you lot :D This is actually my first tab, so don't judge.. I'm a novice :P Please email
if there's any problems.
Intro: x2
e|---x--------------------x---------------------|
B|---0--------------------0---------------------|
G|---6--------------------4---------------------|

"When you wake what is it that you think of most, when your bed.."

B|---0---------------------------------------------0---------------------|
G|---6---------------------------------------------4---------------------|
D|---7---------------------------------------------5---------------------|
A|---7---------------------------------------------5---------------------|
E|---x---------------------------------------------x---------------------|
Repeat that chord sequence for the whole of the verse, also for the prechorus "Stop
crying to the ocean.." etc. You can slide between the two chords if you want.
Then the chorus goes like this:
"So.. it's been so long since you've said"
e|---2---------------x---------------------------x---------------|
B|---3---------------0---------------------------0---------------|
G|---4---------------4---------------------------6---------------|
D|---4---------------5---------------------------7---------------|
A|---2---------------5---------------------------7---------------|

"Well I know what I want, and what I want is right here with you"

G|-----------6----------------------------------------------------4-----|
D|-----------7----------------------------------------------------5-----|
A|-----------7----------------------------------------------------5-----|
E|-----------x----------------------------------------------------x-----|
Then repeat the intro part 2x
Then the verses and choruses are the same. It only uses 3 chords and once you get used
to them it's really easy to play the song

In a flash you're on top begging me to understand.
If I imagine you, body next to another.
You drop in for a minute and I'm sorry that I didn't drop in sooner
just to see you and see what you've been doin'.
Well I imagine you, body next to another.
