Some people put some pretty good tabs for this great song on the net already, but they
100% put together or not accurate. Not saying mine's 100% accurate, but it's very close
not 100%, and my version has the intro, chords and guitar solo.
Enjoy.

VERSE 1:
[E]You never expect it to be in your [Asus2]wildest dreams[Bsus2]
[E]So take a step backwards for a little while
You'll f[Asus2]ind it there

It's [Asus2]something that I can't explain
So I [Bsus2]remain trapped inside
Still [Asus2]holding strong
Still holding on to [Bsus2]you, to [Dsus2]you
CHORUS:
[E]Take me back to [Bsus2]you, it's been a long [Asus2]time
Although every nig[E]ht I think of y[Bsus2]ou
It's such a lonely l[Asus2]ife

VERSE 2: Same chords and fill as Verse 1:
I watched you wave goodbye as you drove away
I didn't know that it would be your last time with me
You said, life ain't worth living if nobody cared
You said that all the time, oh
I take a step back and see your staring eyes
I see you on the day you died
CHORUS:Same as previous.
[E]Take me back to y[Bsus2]ou,
[E]Take me back to y[Bsus2]ou.
