So, I'm a semi-beginner. I've been playing for about 6-7 months. When I first picked up my guitar, this was instantly one of the first songs I wanted to play because it's always been one of my favorites. Upon searching on here, and youtube, I didn't see any versions that were "easy", or that made sense at all just in general. So, I just listened and worked on it, and this is how I think it sounds best, enjoy! :) ****NOTE: chords with the * beside them are the points of the song in which I only strum that note once... That's just how I like to play it, it isn't necessary if you don't like it :) STANDARD TUNING: NO CAPO F C G Am You know it only breaks my heart F C G Am To see you standing in the dark, F C G Am alone, Waiting there for me Em to come back F I'm too afraid to show ----pause F If it's coming over you C Like it's coming over me G I'm crashing like a tidal wave Am That drags me out to sea F And I wanna be with you C And you wanna be with me G I'm crashing like a tidal wave Am And I don't wanna be... F C G Am Stranded (stranded), stranded (stranded) F C G Am Stranded (stranded), stranded (stranded) F C G Am (And) I can only take so much F C G Am These tears are turning me to rust F C G Am I know you're waiting there for me Em To come back F I'm too afraid to show ---PAUSE F If it's coming over you C Like it's coming over me G I'm crashing like a tidal wave Am That drags me out to sea F And I wanna be with you C And you wanna be with me G I'm crashing like a tidal wave Am And I don't wanna be... F C Am G Stranded (stranded), stranded (stranded) F C Am G Stranded (stranded), stranded (stranded) F.........C G Am F C I miss you, I need you G Am F C Without you, I'm stranded G Am I love you Em So come back F I'm not afraid to show F* If it's coming over you C* Like it's coming over me G* I'm crashing like a tidal wave Am* That drags me out to sea F* And I wanna be with you C* And you wanna be with me G* I'm crashing like a tidal wave Am* ---start strumming louder And I don't wanna be... F C G Am Stranded (stranded), stranded (stranded) F C G Am Stranded (stranded), stranded (stranded) F C G Am Oh baby, I miss you F C G Am Oh baby, I need you F C G Am So baby come back F C G Am Oh baby, I miss you F C G Am Oh baby, I need you F C G Am So baby come back... F C G Am So baby come back... F C G Am So baby come back... F* (end chord)
