And he turned and smiled and said that explained it all
And he walked down the hall and he opened the door
And said Ill call, Ill call

Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
When all you give me back is pain
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dido/blackbird_crd.html ]
[Verse II]
Now theres a black black black bird in my chest
All the flatter all caged in
(Instrument)

Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head
Youre tearing every worse thing, I should have said

Ahhhhhhhh haa Why do I bring you love
When all you give me back is pain
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away

Were like the strangers we were
When we first met
But the pain in strangers had the end
And all that remains is a day without plans
The loneliness and the forever lost

Ahh haa Why do I bring you love
When all you give me back is pain
Haa ahh Why do we search it out
To watch you wash your hands and walk away

It seems my first effort was none too good – hopefully this attempt is rather
more accurate (although it’s quite possible that some of the G6 chords should
really be Em7). I should state that much of the credit for this should go to Denis Jacob!

oh____________ don’t leave home

[—]
[G/D] like a [G5/D]ghost don’t need a key
your best [G/D]friend [G5/D] I’ve come to be
[G/D] please don’t [G5/D]think of getting up for me
you don’t [G/D]even [G5/D] need to speak

[G/D] when I’ve been [G5/D]here for just one day
you’ll already [G/D]miss me [G5/D] when I go away
[G/D] so close the [G5/D]blinds and shut the door
you won’t need [G/D]other friends [G5/D] anymore

oh don’t leave home,
oh don’t leave home

and if you’re cold, I’ll keep you warm
if you’re low, just hold on
‘cos I will be your safety
oh don’t leave home

[G/D] and I ar[G5/D]rived when you were weak
I’ll make you [G/D]weaker, [G5/D] like a child
[G/D] now all your [G5/D]love you give to me
when [G/D]your heart [G5/D] is all I need

oh don’t leave home,
oh don’t leave home

and if you’re cold, I’ll keep you warm
if you’re low, just hold on
‘cos I will be your safety
oh don’t leave home

[No chord (or you could play G6 or Em7)]

oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
when it’s just you and little me
everything is clear, everything is new
so you won’t be leaving will you

and if you’re cold, I’ll keep you warm
if you’re low, just hold on
‘cos I will be your safety
oh don’t leave home

I will be your safety
I will be your safety
I will be your safety
oh don’t leave home

ALL YOU WANT – Dido

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my first attempt to write a tab, so please don’t go hard on me.

Intro tab (can be also used for the verses):

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------7-----------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------10-9------------------------------------|
A|-7-5-------7-5-------7-5--------------12-10------------------------------|
E|-----5-7-8-----5-7-8-----5-7-8-------------------------------------------|

I’d like to watch you sleep at night, to hear you breathe by my side
And although sleep leaves me behind, there’s nowhere i’d rather be

And now our bed is oh so cold, my hands feel empty, no one to hold
I can sleep what side I want, it’s not the same with you gone

Oh if you’d come home, I’ll let you know that

All you want is [Am/C]right here in this room, all you wan[Am/C]t
And all you need is s[Am/C]itting here with you, all [Am/C]you want

It’s been three years, one night apart, but in that night you tore my heart
If only you had slept alone, if those seeds had not been sown

Oh you could come home and you would know that

All you want is [Am/C]right here in this room, all you wan[Am/C]t
All you need is si[Am/C]tting here with you, all yo[Am/C]u want

I hear your key turning in the door,
I won’t be hearing that sound anymore
And you and your sin can leave the way you just came in,
send my regards to her, I hope you’ve found that

All you want is [Am/C]right there in that room, all you wa[Am/C]nt
All you need is s[Am/C]itting there with you, all you [Am/C]want
