"hard to believe that there's nobody out there

Continue with the same theme as second verse:
E                *B           C#m     A
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
E                 B           C#m     A
At least I have her love The city she loves me
E                 B           C#m     A     Emaj7
Lonely as I am Together we cry

During Chorus try pulling off and hammering on the B string note on the chords G6 &
sounds good and I think John does this during the VPRO performance!

A                 Am7
Under the bridge downtown
G6             Fmaj7
Is where I drew some blood
A               Am7
Under the bridge downtown
G6              Fmaj7
I could not get enough
A                 Am7
Under the bridge downtown
G6             Fmaj7
Forgot about my love
A                 Am7
Under the bridge downtown
G6             Fmaj7
I gave my life away
