done by ear, sorry for a bit of made up notation
h/p means hammer on the note then pull it off for a little jazzy riff sound
the chords in parenthesis are optional transition chords

capo 8

VERSE 1
C, F, C - C, F, C
Where was I when your tears were falling?
Am, Em, Am - C, F, C
Where was I when you needed a friend?
Dm, Em, Am - C, F, C
Where was I when your heart was calling?
F, (F#), G - C, F, C
Do you not remember? Well I'll tell you then.

CHORUS
Dm, G - Am, E* 
You know I remained right by your side;
Dm, F#, G - E, Am [B/p's with Am7] - (D)
Pushed through the rain, and into the fire.

E*, F, F#, G
Cos when I said I loved you, that's just what I meant.
E**, Am, (low strings of G)
So when you ask me, "where was I when..."
F, F#, G - C, F, C
Every time, I was right by your side.

Where was my love when your heart was bleeding?

When you had no feeling, where were my hands?
Dm, F#, G - C, F, C
If you don?t remember well I?ll tell you then.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
E, E7, E, E7, F, C
Well don?t you know that I?ve given the best of me
