xThis is my first tab and it's not perfect, but it sounds pretty close to me.
If you play it while listening to the song it sounds pretty much the same
but there are some parts I'm not sure about.
It's one of my favorite songs by David Archuleta and I hope you have fun
playing it!
Notes: I don't know what the G* chord is called so I just called it G*,
I don't know if that is right though.
Also, the chords change pretty fast so if you're having trouble it's
easier to play the whole song with just quick down strums instead of with
a strumming pattern. :)

What’s going on? Won’t you tell me what’s wrong?
Em7 Cadd9 G*
It’s like you’re locked up in your own world
Em7 Cadd9 D/F#
Oh, with nothin’ to say
Em7 Cadd9 G*
You keep me guessing, but it’s in your eyes

I’m not gonna treat you like he did
Em7 Cadd9 D/F#
Oh, whatever it takes
Em7 Cadd9 G*

Is it worth it any longer?
Em7 Cadd9 G
So scared of falling again
Em7 Cadd9 G*
But yesterday can make it stronger
Em7 Cadd9 D/F#
So why do you feel alone?
Em7 Cadd9 G
You know I love you better than he ever did

Oh, no, never let go
