E F#m G#m A B
(E)Here's a picture of you (F#m)lonely Fridays
(G#m)Turned to nothing on (A)Friday (B)nights
(E)Firecracker with a (F#m)pile of empties
(G#m)Detonated with (A)lonely (B)fire
(E)I see your (F#m)face, I hear your (G#m)voice, I touch the (A)phone and (B)wonder
(E)If this explosion gonna (F#m)set me reeling
(G#m)Just another thing to (A)pull me (B)under
(F#m)If you could give me anything to-(B)night
(F#m)Just a wink, even just a (B)sigh
(E riff)Be okay
'Cause I'm waiting for a sign
I'm waiting for a sign
To (B)come
Are you the (E)one?
E F#m G#m A B
(E)And I was breathless on a (F#m)Sunday morning
(G#m)And I was speechless on a (A)Sunday (B)night
(E)For a lack of better (F#m)understanding
(G#m)Felt like an engine that just (A)didn't need a (B)tire (?)
(E)I see your (F#m)face, I hear your (G#m)voice, I touch the (A)screen and (B)wonder
(E)I've been waiting for the (F#m)sun to tell me
(G#m)It's just been sitting here I (A)don't know (B)why
(F#m)If you could give me anything to-(B)night
(F#m)Just a wink, even just a (B)sigh
(E riff)Be okay
'Cause I'm waiting for a sign
I'm waiting for a sign
I'm waiting for a sign
To come
To come
I'm waiting for a sign
I'm waiting for a sign
To come
And I'm waiting for a sign

Ryan Adams-"Gimme A Sign"

I've tabbed the song using barre chords.
It's possible that this song is done with
a capo at the 2nd fret, just change the chords
accordingly (to D, E#m, F#m, G,and A ).
