 G-  F#- E  
Hughes, You promised me maybe.
GNobody talks to Emme
GI'm all aEmlone.
People in this place, people are full of shit.
And in it's place I'm over it.
I've got the right mind to call it in.
I'm season the sun stays even the words turn good.
In a heat wave it's understood,
Nobody gives a damn for their neighbor.
Hughes
Hughes promised me maybe.
Nobody talks to me and I'm alone.
You got a bed here, you got a place to stay.
And it's clear you're on your way.
I won't tell your friends a thing.
End on Em
This album is great, and I hope there are more tabs from it posted soon. This song's 
simple, but I enjoy playing it. Listen to the song to feel the changes a bit more.
Thanks,
Mike
