Chords

From the album Half Way Home. Tabbed by Laxan. I hastily wrote down the lyrics, so there may be errors. Worked out the tab using this video of her playing live: All open chords except Cm which is played as a barre chord. Enjoy!
Cm    D  G               
Here you come along,

Am                      D              G
I take a breath and remind myself that I too can be strong

Am                      D
Thought I was cool, turns out I'm a fool

Am                      D
Clearly you've proved me wrong

G                        Am          D            G
I didn't know what I was missing when I was alone.
Chorus:
            Cm      D   G
And now I'm fruitlessly waiting for

Am                      D                     G
Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door

Am              D
Someone to run not walk

Am              D
Oh, someone to sing not talk

Am              D
Oh, no hesitation at all

G               Am             D       G
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call

Am                         D
Well I'm lost in my thoughts they tumble ahead

Am                  D
Over and over again, yeah it's true

            Cm       D                G
Just take a look at what's been done to me

Cm              D                     
I wasted time to ponder

Cm              D
Here I am now, all Alice in Wonder

G               Am                    D
Partly I do this to myself but why can't you see

G               Am                     D
The gesture is small but know that it means the world to me

Am                          D
Oh, forgive me for wanting, I'm only learning life

Am                          D
Forgiven myself and now, there's no returning

G               Am             D
I want to be the one who knows the best way

G               Am             D
I want to be the one who knows the best way

G               Am             D              G                      
I want to be the one who knows the best way to love you

            Cm  D     G
But now I'm foolishly waiting for

Am                      D                      G
Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door

Am                D
Someone to run not walk

Am                     D
Oh, someone to sing not talk

Am                   D
Oh, no hesitation at all

G               Am            D         G
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call

G       Am          D         G
I need you to be the one

G       Am          D         G
I need you to be the one

G       Am          D         G
I need you to be the one
