Yellowcard — Empty Apartment (ver 5) Tab

  Rate this tab:
First off, I don't claim this as my work.  I am combining the correct parts
from the tabs that are already on the site.  It doesn't make sense to have
to go to 3 tabs for one song to get the right info for the right parts. 
Most of the tab is from Clumzee_EQ@yahoo.com — at least that's what it says 
at the bottom of his tab.  Solo and violin solo are from Peter Earnshaw. 
The barre chords (5ths) at the end are from a tab by Vince A.

(Verse 1)

         Am
Call me out
           C
You stayed inside
         G
One you love
         D/F#
Is where you hide
         Am        C
Shot me down as I flew by
           G
Crash and burn
         D/F#             F             Fm
I think sometimes you forget where the heart is
       Am           C
Answer no to these questions
         G           D/F#
Let her go, learn a lesson
         Am             C  
It's not me, you're not listening now
           G               D/F#
Can't you see something's missing?
       F              Fm
You forget where the heart is

(chorus)

           C*            B*           
Take you away from that empty apartment
     Am         F  
You stay and forget where the heart is
   C*        B*                   Am         F
Someday if ever you love me you'd say it's okay

(verse 2)

        Am          C
Waking up from this nightmare
           G                D/F#
How's your life, what's it like there?
       Am           C    
Is it all what you want it to be?
         G            D/F#
Does it hurt when you think about me?
         F         Fm
And how broken my heart is

(Chorus)

(Bridge) — **one guitar arpeggiates the chords throughout the bridge**
***rest of song played with distortion starting with (C*) ***

       C                   B*      
It's okay to be angry and never let go
    Am                   F    
It only gets harder the more that you know
(C*)                    B*
When you get lonely if no one's around 
     A5                            F5
You know that I'll catch you when you're falling down
C*                     B* 
We came together but you left alone
        A5                       F5
And I know how it feels to walk out on your own
C*                     B* 
Maybe someday I will see you again 
            A5                     F5
And you'll look me in my eyes and call me your friend
