Chords

@piano players: Concerning the accompaniment in the left hand, I mainly play the major seventh based on each tonic keynote. For intro, interlude, outro, I play a variation in the right hand - so here, you can just improvise a little bit or try to retrieve the original notes from the song. [Intro] G D Em C G D Em C G D Em C G D Cmaj7 [Verse]
G         D
Crudely defined

           Em
I'm just a poser lost

  C            G        D
Impersonations of what a man should be

    Em       C          G
And of how a man should feel

     D         Em            C         G
I've tried for seemingly now my entire life

   D      Cmaj7
To play a part

    G        D
All posture aside

  Em                 C             G
I pray for all those versions of myself

          D
That I've tried to be

    Em                   C          G
For though they may seem obvious to you

  D         Em            C
I know that you could see through them all

    G                D       Cmaj7
But they were always real to me
[Chorus]
Em      D             G       C
You go ahead, I'll be right behind

Em          D            G            C
I just need something to calm down my mind

Em                         D
Sometimes I wish you could hear

                        Cmaj7
All the thoughts that I cannot sing

Em                        D
That I could show you the wounds

                       Cmaj7
Before they just start growing

     Em
That we could walk into the dark

D                          Cmaj7
Unafraid with our lanterns glowing

               D           G
And see it for all that it is
[Interlude] G D Em C G D Em C G D Em C G D Cmaj7 [Verse]
G        D
Tear it apart

     Em             C
This man I am needs medicine

   G                D
To wade through the dark

         Em              C
For this mannequin, this mess I'm in

     G         D
This folding inside

      Em         C
Stuck in a stoic silence of a

G            D       Cmaj7
Stubborn yet brittle mind
[Chorus]
Em      D             G       C
You go ahead, I'll be right behind

Em          D            G            C
I just need something to calm down my mind

Em                         D
Sometimes I wish you could hear

                        Cmaj7
All the thoughts that I cannot sing

Em                        D
That I could show you the wounds

                       Cmaj7
Before they just start growing

     Em
That we could walk into the dark

D                          Cmaj7
Unafraid with our lanterns glowing

               D           G
And see it for all that it is
