"Where I Stood" - Missy Higgins (On A Clear Night) 2007
Notes:
Re-corrected from version 2. Do people ever listen to the tabs they've created with the
original song? This is a tone higher than ver 2, and sounds much more correct with the
music. I havent really changed the positioning of the chords, just the main key, so
credit for this goes to previous authors. I think the Bm rather than the D sounds
better in the last line of the chorus, but use the D if you prefer...
[Verse 1]
BmI don't knAow what I've dEone. Or if I Bmlike Awhat I've beguEn
 BmBut something tolAd me to Erun
And honey yF#mou know Eme it's Dall Aor Enone //
BmThere were soAunds in my Ehead, little BmvoiAces whispeEring
 BmThat I should gAo and this should enEd
Oh and F#mI found Emyself DlisAtenEing
[Chorus]
 DCause I don't know who I F#mam, who I Eam without you
 DAll I kAnow is that I sEhould
 DAnd I don't know if I could sF#mtand another hEand upon you
 DAll I kAnow is that I shEould
 BmCause she will loAve you mF#more then I coEuld
         D          A   E(hold)         A  
 She who dares to stand where I stood
[Interlude]
(...A)     F#m     A     D  E  
[Verse 2]
(E...)                              A  E  
 See I thought love was black and white
 That it was BmwronAg or it was rEight
 BmBut you aint' leAaving without a fiEght
And I think F#mI am jEust as tDorn AinEside
[Chorus]
 DCause I don't know who I F#mam, who I Eam without you
 DAll I kAnow is that I sEhould
 DAnd I don't know if I could sF#mtand another hEand upon you
 DAll I kAnow is that I shEould
 BmCause she will loAve you mF#more then I coEuld
 DShe who dAares to sEtand where I stooAd
[Bridge]
And I Bmwont be far from wDhere you are if eF#mver you should caEll
You meant Bmmore to me then aAnyone I've eBmver loved at aEll
But you taDught me how to trust myself, And F#mso I say to yEou
this is wBmhat I have to doE  
[Chorus]
 DCause I don't Aknow who I F#mam, who I Eam without you
 DAll I kAnow is that I sEhould
 DAnd I don't Aknow if I could sF#mtand another hEand upon you
 DAll I kAnow is that I shEould
 BmCause she will loAve you mF#more then I coEuld

Notes:

Re-corrected from version 2. Do people ever listen to the tabs they've created with the

original song? This is a tone higher than ver 2, and sounds much more correct with the

music. I havent really changed the positioning of the chords, just the main key, so

credit for this goes to previous authors. I think the Bm rather than the D sounds

better in the last line of the chorus, but use the D if you prefer...

this is what I have to do

[Chorus]
