Verse 2: 4th measure "1 line "2nd "3rd -------5--3---- ------------3-- --------------- --------------- --------------- --3------------ I didn't know it was so cold and "1 line "2nd "3rd -------3------- ----------3---- ---0--------0-- --------------- --------------- --3------------ you needed someone to show you the way.

Chorus Bridge: C D Em All you wanted was somebody who cares D C D If you need me you know ill be there Solo 7777-8888-7777-5555-7777-8888-7777-5-7-5-3------ ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ Chorus (While solo is played again on a different guitar) Then the second line of the intro twice.
