[Intro]
 
A C#m Bm E x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
A              C#m
I walked across an empty land
Bm                          E
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
A               C#m
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Bm                      E
Sat by the river and it made me complete
 
 
[Hook]
 
F#m            C#m
Oh simple thing where have you gone
Bm                                         E
I'm getting old and i need something to rely on
F#m             C#m
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
Bm                                          E
I'm getting tired and i need somewhere to begin
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
A             C#m
I came across a fallen tree
Bm                        E
I felt the branches of it looking at me
A                 C#m
Is this the place we used to love
Bm                               E
Is this the place that i've been dreaming of
 
 
[Hook]
 
F#m             C#m
Oh simple thing where have you gone
Bm                                         E
I'm getting old and i need something to rely on
F#m             C#m
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
Bm                                          E
I'm getting tired and i need somewhere to begin
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Bm                A               C#m7
And if you have a minute why don't we go
Bm            A             C#m7
talk about it somewhere only we know
Bm                A           C#m7
this could be the end of everything

I'm getting old and i need something to rely on
F#m             C#m
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
Bm                                           E
I'm getting tired and i need somewhere to begin

hey chimaera seriously, the tab is actually fine. @zzasin, if you can't tell that it actually does sound right then...i dunoo. But it is actually in tune. Its just that Bm goes up rather than down like the song and the C#m is right, I'm sure. Good tab, says I. Nice work.

I think the verse is wrong. I think it's A, C#m then D major, Bm and - don't know the chords, but it's BEA followed by BEG# This is on the first verse, those 3 chords play in sequence, then repeats to end the verse. That I think sounds slightly better.
