This is my first tab and it's not perfect, but it sounds pretty close to me.
If you play it while listening to the song it sounds pretty much the same
but there are some parts I'm not sure about.
It's one of my favorite songs by David Archuleta and I hope you have fun
playing it!
Notes: I don't know what the G* chord is called so I just called it G*,
I don't know if that is right though.
Also, the chords change pretty fast so if you're having trouble it's
easier to play the whole song with just quick down strums instead of with
a strumming pattern. :)

Intro: * *
*
You and me, all alone girl
What’s going on? Won’t you tell me what’s wrong?
*
It’s like you’re locked up in your own world
Oh, with nothin’ to say
*
You keep me guessing, but it’s in your eyes
He made you promises, but gave you lies
*
You’re shutting down because you’re so sure
That I’ll be another mistake
Chorus:
*
I know that he left you in pieces
You know that I won’t be that way
*
I’m not gonna treat you like he did
Oh, whatever it takes
*
You think history is repeated
You keep on pushing me away
*
Oh, but nothing’s gonna change
*
Waiting for yesterday ay ay
Day ay ay
*
Day ay ay
*
Is it worth it any longer?
So scared of falling again
*
But yesterday can make it stronger
So why do you feel alone?
You know I love you better than he ever did
*
And this could be, all you ever needed
Hold onto me and just remember
Oh, no, never let go
Chorus:
*
I know that he left you in pieces
You know that I won’t be that way
*
I’m not gonna treat you like he did
Oh, whatever it takes
*
You think history is repeated
You keep on pushing me away
*
Oh, but nothing’s gonna change
Waiting for yesterday ay ay
Bridge:
*
I’m the one for you tonight
I’m the one for you forever
*
If it takes a little time,
*
(Whatever it takes, whatever it takes)
*
I’m the one for you tonight,
I’m the one for you forever
*
If it takes a little time
*
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes)
Chorus:
*
I know that he left you in pieces
You know that I won’t be that way
*
I’m not gonna treat you like he did
Oh, whatever it takes
*
You think history is repeated
You keep on pushing me away
*
Oh, but nothing’s gonna change
Waiting for yesterday
*
I know that he left you in pieces
You know that I won’t be that way
*
I’m not gonna treat you like he did
Oh, whatever it takes
*
You think history is repeated
You keep on pushing me away
*
Oh, but nothing’s gonna change
*
Waiting for yesterday ay ay
Day ay ay
*
Day ay ay
