So here goes Cry on Demand by Gomez, of their alubm How We Operate, awesome album:

(You can improvise a picking pattern or just strum)

You never call,
Not since my little accident.

Cause what happens in Vegas,
Don't take very long,
To travel accross continents,
And onwards overseas,
Onto our little island,
To our city, our home,
