verse and interlude/solo so I will tab them out here first.

Intro & Verse 

1. 

After strumming the E(1) for about 1.5 measures it goes as follows:

Song:

[Intro]

(1), (1), (1) X2

[Verse 1]

(1)                              (1)            (1)
You never expect it to be in your wildest dreams
(1)
So take a step backwards for a little while
       (1)           (1)
You'll find it there
     (1)             
It's something that I can't explain
       
So I remain trapped inside
      
Still holding strong
                   
Still holding on to you, to you

[Chorus]

                              
Take me back to you, it's been a long time
                            (2)
Although woh every night I think of you
                                
It's such a lonely life

[Verse 2]

(1)                              (1)        (1) 
I watched you wave goodbye as you drove away
(1)                                     (1)          (1)
I didn't know that it would be your last time with me
           (1)                       
You said - life ain't worth living if nobody cared
                          
You said that all the time, oh
                            
I take a step back and see your staring eyes
                   
I see you on the day you died

[Chorus]

                              
Take me back to you, it's been a long time
                            (2)
Although woh every night I think of you
                                
It's such a lonely life             Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Oh
              
Take me back to you 
            
take me back to you

[Interlude]

, , , (2)
(3), (3), (3), (3) (3)

[Chorus]

                              
Take me back to you, it's been a long time
                            (2)
Although woh every night I think of you
                                
It's such a lonely life             Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Oh
              
Take me back to you 
            
take me back to you

[Outro]

             

             
                 Wowwoowooo

             
     
                
Take me back to Love               


Hope you enjoy
