Reel Big Fish - Where Have You Been? from the album 'Cheer Up!'

A QUALITY song

Intro - Am C F G

Am              C                 F          G
You called me late last night in tears
Am              C             F          G
You said you missed me after all these years
Am              C         F     G
I've been waiting here so long
Am              C             F          G
I've gotten over it since you've been gone

Am              C             F          G
You called me late last night again
Am              C             F          G
You said you're finished with your new boyfriend
Am              C             F          G
Asked if you could come back home
Am              C      F      G
So sorry that you left all alone, well...


CHORUS

C              G
You say you love me
F         G
Love me again
C                    G              F   G
But if you love me, where have you been?
C            G             F            G
You say you need me more than anyone else
              C
Well go to hell
G               F   G
Where have you been?


Am              C             F          G
You showed up at my door today
Am              C             F          G
You said my friend why do you push my away?
Am              C             F          G
Your life with him was just so dull
Am            C                F    G
But what we had was something wonderful, well...

REPEAT CHORUS

(Short, Quick Strums)
C
No way
G
You wish
F
I don't
G
Need this

C          G             F              G
What makes you think I'd ever want you again and
C
Yeah right
G
As if
F
I don't
G
Need this

C              G                F        G
What makes you think I'll ever want you again

Am              C             F          G
You called me late last night again
Am              C                   F          G
You said you're finished with your new boyfriend
Am        C                     F    G
Asked if you could come back home
Am         C             F     G
So sorry that you left all alone, well...

CHORUS

C           G
You say you love me
F         G
Love me again
             C         G             F   G
But if you love me, where have you been?
               C
(And if you love me...)
 G        F         G
Where have you been?
               C
(And if you love me...)
 G        F         G
Where have you been?
               C
(And if you love me...)
G         F         G
Where have you been?
               C
(And if you love me...)
G          F
Where have you been?

It ends on F.  It's a pretty easy song, which sounds good on acoustic or electric.

Happy strummin...Jevon
