This is a piano song, you can barely hear the guitar in this song.
So I apologise if the guitar "riffs" don't sound
exactly like the song, because they are piano parts actually.

Just cry, you don't have to hide it from me, rely on me (rely on me)

Chorus:
G D A G D A
That's what you said but I don't know, I'm walking here so all alone
G D A G D
I wanna hear your voice right now, I'm looking for it all around
A G D A (then quickly back to Am7 A progression with the nah nah nah's)
I really need to find a paaaaay-phooooooooone...
Piano Solo tabbed for guitar (may not be 100% correct but is very close):
Am7 A Am7 A
e----|-5-5-5------------|----------|----|-5-5-5------------ (play notes softly, and let them ring!)
B--1-|-------5-3-5-3-2--|----------|-1--|-------5--3-5-3-2-
G-0--|----------------2-|--2-0-----|--0-|-----------------2
D----|------------------|--------2-|----|------------------
That's pretty much it.
Enjoy!
