Well, figured this one out when I was watching her performance
on Buffy. I’m 100 freaking percent this is the way she plays it.

If you like the studio version, the SECOND GUITAR PART IS AT THE
BOTTOM, and Michelle’s guitar part in the bridge and ending is
omitted.

And again like most of her songs.

CAPO ON THE 1ST BLOODY FRET!

before.. but I’m just gonna call it a D to D#, just for
reference purposes.

INTRO: A/E – C#m (x4)

[(A/E]Your e[-]yes[C#m)] they look so bright,
a funky flair in my appetite,
but there’s no room for you,
my feet are on the ground,
and my head is in the clouds,
but you still can’t break through,
whatcha gonna do.

[(E]I’m not just gonna stand around,[C)]
Waiting for my lips to be read,
falling through the cracks in the ground,
E D A A/E C#m (A/E – C#m x4)
my feelings need to be said.

[(A/E]Flowin[-]g l[C#m)]ike water in a crimson melody,
the orange plastic sun is shining,
and the truth so hard to see,
the rain of your existence if falling down on me,
and the soap suds spread like a disease from my washing machine.

[(E]I’m not just gonna stand around,[C)]
Waiting for my lips to be read,
falling through the cracks in the ground,
my feelings need to be said[-].[-][-]

E – D – A – A – C – C – D – D

[(E]I’m not just gonna stand aroun[C)]d,
waiting for you,
falling through the cracks in the ground,
and I’m hoping that you’ll make your next move,
that you’ll make your next move…

[(E]I’m not just gonna stand aroun[C)]d,
Waiting for my lips to be read,
falling through the cracks in the ground,

my feelings neee[-]eeee[-]eeee[-]eeee[-]eeee[-]eeeed to be said.

Intro
Fmaj7 C7 Gsus Am-Am7-Am x2

Verse1
One less call to answer,
feeling full of despair,
don’t think I can get through it,
just one last prayer.

Verse2
Searching for the answer,
nobody seems to care,
Oh how I wish that you were here,
beside me,
to wipe away my tears.

Verse3
Waiting for the answer,
remembering times we would share,
somehow I feel you here beside me,
even though your not there.

Chorus
And it’s a leap of faith,
when you believe there’s someone out there,
it’s a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh,
and when I call out to you,
will you be right there,
C G Am x2
right there.
