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)

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
