Verse 1 and 4 are the same.
Verse 2:
	Whereever I am, girl....

Verse 3:
	I need to know you...

The words written with the tab is a guide line to
where they're supposed to be sung, but it's not very accurate.
The best thing is to listen to the song I you don't know
how it goes.

Questions and comments welcome.
