Tom: Am
[Picking pattern]
A|------2--------2--------2--------2---------------------------|
E|----1---1----1---1----1---1----1---1-------------------------|
C|--2--------5--------7--------5-------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------|
This same pattern repeats throughout the song and is only varied depending on the structure of the
chord.
Use your index finger as a bar and use ring finger and pinky finger for frets 5 and 7 to make it easier.
In the bridge and chorus I switch to standard E chord form and move fingers accordingly.

[Verse 1]

I'm just waiting for you to come home
