======================================
I wrote the intro-melody part out in tab format. This part needs to be
played by finger-picking. The chords above the tab usually give an easy
reference to the proper positioning of the left hand while the individual
notes are played.
Intro-melody:
(C) (Em) (F) (repeat 2x) E:----------0------------0----------------0---------1------------------------- --- B:----------------------------3----------------3-----1---------------0--1--3-- - G:-----------------0----------------------------------------2-----2----------- --- D:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A:----------3----------------------------------------------------------------- ----- E:-----------------------------------0------------------1--------------------- ----
(C) (Em) (F)

Verse 1:
C Em F C There are oceans of feelings be-tween us, Am C currents that take us and sweep us away. C Em F C That's why we seldom have seen us, Am G C in the light of a cold hard day. Am C Lot's of new friends, with the same old answers, Am G G7 open your eyes you might see, C Em F C if our lives were that simple we'd live in the past, Am G C if the phone doesn't ring, its me.
Chorus:
G C If the phone doesn't ring, you know that it's me, G C I'll be out in the eye of the storm, G C if the phone doesn't ring, you know that I'll be, G C where someone can make me feel warm. C Em F C It's too bad we can't turn and live in the past, Am G C-(first chord of intro) if the phone doesn't ring, it's me.
Intro-melody: No repeats this time.
Verse 2:
C Em F
C I've had good days and bad days and going - half - mad days, Am C I try to let go, but your still on my mind. C Em F C I've lost all the old ways, I'm searching for new ways, Am G C Putting it all on the line. Am C Lots of new friends, with the same old problems, Am G G7 open your eyes you might see, C Em F C if our lives were that simple we'd live in the past, Am G C if the phone doesn't ring, it's me.
Repeat chorus.
Intro-melody: Play the tab part, singing these words over it. All repeats
this time.
C Em F It's me, it's me, C Em F it's me, it's me, C Em F it's me, it's me, C Em F it's me, it's me.
Coda: (Slowly)
C Em F C If it takes all our future we'll live through the past, Am G C C/F C if the phone doesn't ring, it's me.
That's All. Once again, this song sounds much better if you finger-pick it.
Also, it's a nice touch to add a high "g" note to the Em chords.
