Chords for acoustic guitar

Tabbed by Psychiropractor


This is my second tab--a beautiful, bittersweet number. Obviously, I've left out
all the little frills and musical niceties, so this is just gonna be a basic
bare-bones rundown sorta deal. Enjoy...


Standard tuning (EADGBe)


First, here's the hook lick:

Now, as to the song proper:


F - G - F - G


C                               G
Hey, you say you're looking for something you've never found.
          Am                                 G
Well, the last time I checked I was lost and wandering around,
         C                                G
'cause I know just how it feels to be the best thing you ever had,
    Am                            G
but still not quite good enough to be the last one.


    F                   G                 F
And there you go again, spinning all your wheels.
    G
You never know what you've got until you lose it,
    F                  G                    F          G
and here I am still waiting after all these years.


              C
Well, you can look all over this great big world,
            G
and you can look down every street,
   Am
in every bookstore, on every dancefloor,
G
at every girl you meet.
            C
And you can drive out to California
    G
and chase down all of your dreams.
    Am
I'm sure you'll find someone beautiful,
           G                          F      G
but you'll never...you'll never find me.
                   F      G
You'll never find me.

C                               G
Hey, they say that real love is completely letting go.
        Am                                     G
Well, my hands are way up in the air and you're somewhere in Arizona.
C                                       G
Just a few more hundred miles and you'll have everything you need,
Am                                         G
except for these arms to hold you when that lie brings you to your knees.


    F                   G                   F
And there you go again, spinning all your wheels.
    G
You never know what you've got 'til you lose it,
    F                  G                     F          G
and here I am, still waiting after all these years.


              C
Well, you can look all over this great big world,
            G
and you can look down every street,
   Am
in every bookstore, in every dive bar,
G
at every girl you meet.
             C
And when you look out over the ocean
         G
from the shores of Venice Beach,
  Am
I know you'll find the brightest stars,
           G                          F
but you'll never...you'll never find me.
   G                   F
Oh, you'll never find me.
   G                   F
Oh, you'll never find me.
   G
Oh...


        C
You can look all over this great big world,
        G
you can look down every street,
   Am
in every bookstore, in every dive bar,
G
at every girl you meet.
             C
And when you look out over the ocean
         G
from the shores of Venice Beach,
  Am
I know you'll find the brightest stars,
           G                          F
but you'll never...you'll never find me.
   G                   F
Oh, you'll never find me.
   G                   F
Oh, you'll never find me.
   G
Oh...


F - G - F - G

No, no, no, no, no, no...
