Chords

This is my first tab and it's not perfect, but it sounds pretty close to me. If you play it while listening to the song it sounds pretty much the same but there are some parts I'm not sure about. It's one of my favorite songs by David Archuleta and I hope you have fun playing it! Notes: I don't know what the G* chord is called so I just called it G*, I don't know if that is right though. Also, the chords change pretty fast so if you're having trouble it's easier to play the whole song with just quick down strums instead of with a strumming pattern. :) Tabbed by: me (heartgirl14)

Em7             Cadd9  G*
You and me, all alone girl 

Em7                        Cadd9     G
What’s going on? Won’t you tell me what’s wrong? 

Em7                               Cadd9     G*
It’s like you’re locked up in your own world 

Em7       Cadd9     D/F#
Oh, with nothin’ to say 

Em7                           Cadd9     G*
You keep me guessing, but it’s in your eyes 

Em7                       Cadd9     G   
He made you promises, but gave you lies 

Em7                                Cadd9    G*
You’re shutting down because you’re so sure 

Em7           Cadd9    D/F#
That I’ll be another mistake 
Chorus:
Em7            Cadd9         G*
I know that he left you in pieces 

Em7             Cadd9 G       Em7
You know that I won’t be that way 

              Cadd9             G* 
I’m not gonna treat you like he did 

Em7  Cadd9       D/F#
Oh, whatever it takes 

Em7         Cadd9        G*
You think history is repeated 

Em7          Cadd9  G   Em7
You keep on pushing me away    

        Cadd9      G*    Em7
Oh, but nothing’s gonna change 

D/F#              Em7    Cadd9   G*
Waiting for yesterday     ay     ay

Em7    Cadd9   G
Day     ay     ay 

Em7    Cadd9   G*
Day     ay     ay

Em7                Cadd9  G* 
Is it worth it any longer? 

Em7           Cadd9   G
So scared of falling again 

Em7                       Cadd9    G*
But yesterday can make it stronger

Em7           Cadd9  D/F#
So why do you feel alone? 

Em7                       Cadd9      G
You know I love you better than he ever did 

Em7               Cadd9          G*
And this could be, all you ever needed 

Em7                   Cadd9    G
Hold onto me and just remember 

Em7     Cadd9     D/F#
Oh, no, never let go 
Chorus:
Em7            Cadd9         G*
I know that he left you in pieces

You know that I won’t be that way 

              Cadd9             G* 
I’m not gonna treat you like he did

Oh, whatever it takes 

Em7         Cadd9        G*
You think history is repeated
