NOTES:
Throughout the song, there are a lot of bass walk-ups and walk-downs that might 
confuse what you hear.  I noted where most of them are.  You can play the bass 
walks if you like, or leave it to the bassist.  If you are playing solo, you 
will be better off simply playing the chords.  Also note that the chords are 
approximate to where they are played in the song.  The chords at the beginning
of each line come in a bit before the vocals.

This is the main part of the riff.  The intro features a bit more, but this 
will get you started.  You can play this anywhere throughout the song, just 
switch the ending to whatever chord you land on if other than F.


[Intro] 
(** RIFF **) ->         |  |


[Verse 1]
(** RIFF **)

There comes a 

time
  
A time in ever

yone's life

Where nothin' 

seems to go yo

ur way
             
When nothing s

             
eems to turn o

        (**  **)
ut right
            
There may come

  (**          **)
 a time
             
You just can't

        
 seem to find 

     
your place
             
For every door

             -> 
 you open
             
Seems like you

          
 get two slamm

ed in your fac

e


[Pre-Chorus]
              
That's when yo

          
u need someone

              
, someone that

       
 you can call
(** bass walk-down of C~B~A from C chord to G chord below **)
             
When all your 

       
faith is gone
             
It feels like 

          
you can't go o

n


[Chorus]
             
Let it be me, 

          
let it be me
             
If it's a frie

           
nd that you ne

ed
             
Let it be me, 

          
let it be me


[Verse 2]
(** RIFF **)

Feels like you

 always comin'

 up last

Pockets full o

f nothin' ain'

t got no cash

No matter wher

e you turn you

 ain't got no 

place to stand
             
Reach each out

              
 for something

             
 and they slap

              (**  **)
 your hand
            
I remember all

     (**        
 too well
           
Just how it fe

          
els to be all 

  
alone
             
Feel like you'

             
d give anythin

     -> 
g
             
For just a lit

              
tle place you 

     
can call your 

own


[Pre-Chorus]
              
That's when yo

          
u need someone

              
, someone that

       
 you can call
(** bass walk-down of C~B~A from C chord to G Chord below **)
             
When all your

It feels like 

           
you can't go o

[Chorus]
