This is a piano song, you can barely hear the guitar in this song.  
So I apologise if the guitar "riffs" don't sound
exactly like the song, because they are piano parts actually.

Intro/verse

(First is acapella singing the nah nah nah parts in Am7, Am7, A, A manner...)

Just cry,         you don't have to hide it from me,          rely on me (rely on me)

Am7        Am7      *riff 2*                            *riff 2b* A
Just cry, (just cry)         even if you don't know why,          rely on me

Chorus:

G               D                A     G           D           A
That's what you said but I don't know, I'm walking here so all alone

G                 D           A    G                      D     
I wanna hear your voice right now, I'm looking for it all around

A                      G        D           A (then quickly back to Am7 A progression with the nah nah nah's)
I really need to find a paaaaay—phooooooooone...

Piano Solo tabbed for guitar (may not be 100% correct but is very close):
 Am7   A                         Am7      A
e————|—5—5—5————————————|——————————|————|—5—5—5———————————— (play notes softly, and let them ring!)
B——1—|———————5—3—5—3—2——|——————————|—1——|———————5——3—5—3—2—
G—0——|————————————————2—|——2—0—————|——0—|—————————————————2

That's pretty much it.

Enjoy!
