Love And Theft - If You Ever Get Lonely Chords & Tabs

IF YOU EVER GET LONELY
By Love & Theft
Originally by John Waite

The intro riff is just a D chord with a hammer on with your pinky on the 3rd fret E string. 
Listen to the song for the timing. I fell in love with this song when I heard John Waite play
it.  It's going to be a HUGE hit for Love & Theft, I would have loved to see it be a hit for
John. Enjoy.  Feel free to send in any corrections.  I am pretty sure it is correct.



VERSE 1
D(riff)
Thanks for calling it's so good to hear your voice
             G
But you keep breaking up in all the static and the noise
            Bm                A                                 D
But I keep listening 'cause I never had a chance when it came to you
D(riff)
I'd love to see you if you're ever out this way
          G
You sound happy guess things are working out okay
                Bm                 A                       D
And I'm getting better at putting one foot in front of the other 


PRE-CHORUS
Bm                                  G
And I know that California ain't to blame
Bm                                  G
An I know there's a ton of people in LA

You know where to find me
If you ever get lonely
If you ever get lonely
