One of my new favorites.  A slow, hauntingly beautiful duet by Active Child featuring
Ellie Goulding.
Standard Tuning
Capo 2
There are only 4 chords and they repeat over and over for the entire song.
Remember, capo is on 2nd fret so the following chords are with respect to the second
fret being zero (0).  Not 100% positive about the chord names, but they're close (with 
some variation).
Chords:
E------E0-----C#sus2--0-----Bsus2--0-----Asus2--0------|
B------0-------0-------0-------0------|
G------1-------6-------4-------2------|
D------2-------6-------4-------2------|

     ESitting outside waiting for the world to call
     C#sus2Living my life trying to do what's right
     In the hope of a better Bsus2day
     And all those words you wrote me brought me to my Asus2knees
     And all that I'm saying is

Sitting outside waiting for the world to call
Living my life trying to do what's right
In the hope of a better day
And all I want is that you extend your hand to me
Oh-----
[Verse 4] (Duet)
Show me where it hurts (The way you make it okay)
Tell me that you'll stay (Oh, even when I'm far away)
(Your voice will carry through) 'Til the end it's me and you
We can make it if we try
And all that I'm saying is
[Chorus]
You're home
You'll never be alone
You're home
You'll never be alone
You're home
To be alone
You're home
Hope you find your way home
You're never gonna be alone
You're never gonna be alone
Fin
Hope you enjoy the tab.
