Not exactly how Ben plays it, but a nice alternative to strum along without retuning. [Intro] C F (x5) [Verse 1]
       C            
Oh you watch me steady, you

                    F 
Watch me with such a quiet sincerity

        C
And you hold me heavy, you

                  F
Hold me like I was born to be held

        C
And the light comes in here, yeah

                        F
Morning my dear, and the restlessness of arms

      C
And we lie here longing now

                          F
Words were ours that we'll never be harmed

            C          F
'Cause you are dear to me

          C          F
Yeah you are dear
[Chorus]
Am                    G                       
But if this goes wrong again, oh heaven forbid

Am             G
If this was how it was meant to fall, no

Am          G
If this goes wrong again

            F
Will you pretend that you know, steady as the morning and just go
C
        F
And just go

        C         F
And just go
[Verse 2]
  C 
I made you breakfast, oh

                              F
Soldiers to guard and keep you company

        C
When I'm goin' away again

                          F
All faces and falsities of new friends

             C
Yeah there's fires here to burn, and

                        F
Timbers left to learn in this young heart

           C                
And honey please don't think I don't miss you, no

                                 F
Don't think I don't think of you when we're apart

          C         F
Because I do dear, I do

       C            F
Yeah I do dear
[Chorus]
Am                    G                       
But if this goes wrong again, oh heaven forbid

Am             G
If this was how it was meant to fall, no

Am          G
If this goes wrong again

            F
Will you pretend that you know, steady as the morning and just go
C
        F
And just go

        C         F
And just go
C F (x5) C
