Chords

Tune both E strings down to D (DADGBd) This is exactly how Ben Rector plays it live, he has personally contacted me and told me how he plays it. He plays in high strung tuning (Nashville tuning) where the lowest three strings are replaced with strings one octave higher, this is not necessary for the song, but know that is why his version may sound slightly different from what you are playing. The song can be played in standard EADGBe tuning with the below chords played in their regular form. Song in 3/4 time Chords Used in Intro/Verse/Bridge: D4: 050030 D: 000230 Bm: x2443x (Bm barre chord without the high and low D strings) A: 00222x Em: 222000 Chords Used in Chorus: A: 7x0650 Bm: 9x0770 G: 5x0430 D: 0 0 0 11 10 0 Intro: D4 Verse:

              D
I go a little crazy sometimes, can you believe it?

Yeah, I swear I'm fine, that I'm alright When I'm barley breathing

                Bm               A
Thought I could find my way back home

          Em
But I get lost alone

Chorus: |A|A|Bm|Bm|G|G|D|D|A|A|Bm|G|D|D|

                  A                 Bm
But when I'm with you I'm no longer wandering

                  G                  D
And when I'm with you, I swear I can breathe

              A                 Bm         G         D
When I'm with you, I know who I am and who I want to be

D Verse:

                     D
I'm not trying to be dramatic, no

Most times I'm pretty normal Oh, but let's be clear and honest here And do away with anything formal

      Bm            A             Em
I can fake it on my own, but I am lost alone

Chorus: |A|A|Bm|Bm|G|G|D|D|A|A|Bm|G|D|D|

                  A                 Bm
But when I'm with you I'm no longer wandering

                  G                  D
And when I'm with you, I swear I can breathe

              A                 Bm         G         D
When I'm with you, I know who I am and who I want to be

D Bridge: |Em|D|Bm|A|x3 |Em|Em|x3

Em D      Bm   A
     I am wide-eyed

Em D        Bm           A
     With a penchant for running

Em           D             Bm          A             Em
But how many times does it take 'til I find that I'm lost when I'm alone

Em
And that's not where I belong

Chorus: (Use the D and Bm shapes from the Verse for the first Bm and the first 2 Ds, then after the A use the shapes from the chorus)

                D                      Bm
'cause when I'm with you I'm no longer wandering

              G                 D
When I'm with you I can finally breathe

              A               Bm
When I'm with you, I swear to God

           D
I swear to God I'm who I want to be

|D|D|D|G| repeat until end
