Yellowcard — Empty Apartment (ver 5) 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
