Here is an excellent song I could not find a tab for so I sat down and tabbed it myself.
This is from the uncut (acoustic) version. You can download it from itunes.
Enjoy!

----Intro.----

Asus2 G6 Asus2 Fmaj7 G6

----Verse 1-----
Asus2 E
When we were young and truth was paramount
C G D
We were older then and we lived a life without any doubt
Asus2 E
Those memories they seem so long ago
C G D
What's become of them? When you feel like me I want you to know

----Chorus 1----
Asus2 G6
Don't cry...you're not alone
Asus2 Fmaj7 G6
Don't cry...tonight, my baby
Asus2 G6
Don't cry...you'll always be loved
Asus2 Fmaj7 G6
Don't cry...tonight, sweet baby

(Play the same for the rest)

----Verse 2----
Today I dream of friends I had before
And I wonder why the ones who care don't, they don't call anymore
My feelings hurt but you know I overcome the pain
And I'm stronger now, there can't be a fire unless there's a flame

----Chorus 2----
Don't cry...you're not alone
Don't cry...tonight, sweet baby
Don't cry...you'll always be loved
Don't cry...oh,oh,oh

----Bridge----
Fmaj7 G6
Limousines and sycophants
Fmaj7 G6
Don't leave me now 'cause I'm afraid
Fmaj7 G6 G
What you've done to me is now the wolf in my head
Asus2 Fmaj7 G6
In my head, in my head, in my bed

----Verse 3----
The challenges we took were hard enough
And they get harder now even when we think that we've had enough
Don't you feel alone 'cause it's all you understand
I'm your sedative, take a piece of me when, whenever you want

----Chorus 2----
Don't cry...you're not alone
Don't cry...tonight, sweet baby
Don't cry...you'll always be loved
Don't cry...don't cry tonight, sweet baby

----Outro----
Asus2 G6 D Fmaj7 G6
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't you cry, cry
Asus2 G6
Don't cry...'cause you'll still be loved
D Dsus4 D Fmaj7 G6 Asus2 Fmaj7 G6
Don't cry, don't cry tonight, whoa, my baby
Asus2 Fmaj7 G6
My baby..
Asus2 Fmaj7 G6
My baby ooh why don't you cry tonight
Asus2 Fmaj7 G6
My baby, don't cry tonight, you'll still be loved

I think there might be a few typos in this song.. I'm not for sure, but "I hear you 'fear' so alone.."? Shouldn't it be "feel"? And that part "cause it's I you understand".. I'm not sure that makes any sense.

I think actually it's "Cause it's I who understand..." Someone back me up on this.

Sophisticated, but so so powerful. Unlike most of his songs, which are generally much more accessable and easy to relate to, the verses in this one seem to be very personal and cryptic. The best of his more popular works, by far. The percussion commands such a presence throughout.

Oh, and I must give production credits. Extremely well polished background layering you can only appreciate if you've listened to it for a couple months, sometimes years. He's amazing, and he's just got so much to say. An idol to say the least, truly.

Only just realised this! Seal had Lupus as a kid, lupus is the latin for wolf. I'm pretty sure that's what he refers to as "the wolf in my bed", that he fears that what "you've done to me" has replaced his experiences of lupus, but he still is able to say "You'll always be loved"

Seal speaks about his "limousines and sycophants", illusions of the substantive to make himself feel comfort, and as he is away from them, he feels naked to all the realities of living, and it is a sort of confession as he symphathizes with the listener who cries, in a figurative manner, or a literal.

If anyone could take a comforting hug and make it into a song, this would be the song. Did I mention how much I love Seal's music? *sighs and whines* When's Tomorrowland gonna come out!?!
