Capo 4th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
is played over the first four lines of the song. It is played again during the song, so
I will refer to it as IR1 (Intro Riff 1)
IR1
I fell asleep last night (I fell asleep last night)
IR1
But I woke up too late (I woke up too late)
IR1
And everything I loved (Everything I loved)
IR1
Oh I begin to hate
I know I sound repetitive
Cause I'm repeating myself
And I'm competitive
I want you all by yourself
And that alone is just the problem
I've got these woes
I just can't solve them
If I could gather up the nerve
I'd put my feelings into words
And if I weren't so young, or stupid, or restless
I might be able to just soon forget this
Just forget this, just forgive this, just forget this
Please just forget me
When I'm out all alone on the east coast
Please don't forgive me
When you're home all alone
And you need me most
Oh, and you need me most
Yeah, when you need me most
Oh, if I only had the heart
To find out exactly who you are
(You know I'd try now)
But it's just fine
No you can't save me
It's no fault but mine
Please just blame me
If I could gather up the nerve
I'd put my feelings into words
And if I weren't so young, or stupid, or restless
I might be able to just soon forget this
Just forget this, just forgive this, just forget this
Please just forget me
When I'm out all alone on the east coast
Please don't forgive me
When you're home all alone
And you need me most
Oh, and you need me most
Yeah, when you need me most
Riff 2
R2
Oh, if I only had the heart (x4)
R2
Oh, if I only had the heart. The nerve, the words,
R2
You'd think by now, I would have learned
R2
Oh, if I only had the heart. The nerve, the words,
R2
You'd think by now, I would have learned
IR1
Please just forget me
IR1
When I'm out all alone on the east coast
IR1
And please don't forgive me
IR1
When you're home all alone
And you need me most
Yeah, you need me most
Oh, and you need me most
This is my adaptation of the song. Feel free to change it around and play it the way you
like it. Hope this helps!
