Amy also plays a very brief D chord sometimes between G and C (but not between C and G); I can't even hear it in the recording, but I saw her do it in concert.] G C G C G C G C [intro] G C You can go to east to find your G C Your inner hemisphere G C You say we're under the same sky babe G C Don't you realize, honey it's not that clear G C I'm not your promised land, honey you know that I'm not G C I'm not your promised one D D I'm not the land of Canaan, oh, sweetheart D D Waiting for you under the sun G C I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now G C I'm wanting your love and your giving it out G C I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight G C I'm lonely tonight, oooooh ooh, ooh yeah Well the meaning's changed for what it's worth It's just a senseless game Well I should think of love, but it's fear Every time I hear, honey, your heartbeart strain It's not the fallen man, honey you know that it's not It's not the call of time It's just the London skyline, oh sweetheart Telling me you're not mine I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now I'm wanting your love and your giving it out I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight I'm lonely tonight, oooooh ooh, ooh yeah G C G C G C G C D D D D G C G C [guitar solo] My blood is running dry, my skin is My skin is growing thin, oh yeah For every time you find yourself You lose a little of me, and honey it's from within It's just a raging cycle Why can't we bring it on to the end of the line, tell me baby From inside this existence, oh sweetheart Time is not on my side I'm lonely tonight, I'm missing you now I'm wanting your love and your giving it out I'm lonely tonight, I'm lonely tonight I'm lonely tonight, oooooh ooh, ooh yeah I'm not your promised land, I'm not your promised one I'm not your promised land, I'm not your promised one I'm not the land of Canaan, oh, sweetheart I'm not your land of Canaan, oh, sweetheart I'm not the land of Canaan, sweetheart Waiting for you under the sun C - G/B - G/A G. I'm lonely tonight TAB: ==== RHYTHM GUITAR: Here's Amy's strumming pattern, roughly. I think the (9)'s are actually scattered more or less randomly throughout the song.

(timing) > > > > (accents) LEAD GUITAR SOLO: I can take no credit for figuring this out; someone mailed it to me in standard tablature form, and I just typed it up into e-mailable text. So any mistakes are not my fault (although if you spot any, let me know, and I'll fix them). Sorry about the T,E,W thing; if you can find a better way to do it (while preserving the timing), let me know! Symbols: = hammer-on or pull-off / slide up \ slide down T,E,W (T)enth, (E)leventh, t(W)elfth fret; I did this so that I could notate the high frets with single characters. ^ . These are timing markers; each ^ is a quarter note.
