This is a modification of a Tab already for this song, but I saw a few
discrepancies and decided to add in a bit to make it more suitable
for a solo acoustic setting.
Key: A minor
Note for playing: The song sounds good either simply strumming the chords
with the same timing and emphasis as in the Foiled album version OR
fingerpicked playing the vocal melody within the chords. I choose the later
but this is totally up to you. Just make sure your voice can handle it if you
choose to sing.

Intro : Let the notes ring a bit, play more towards the fretboard to get a
nicer tone.

Verse 1:
Am What if we could put our lives on C Hold and meet somewhere inside of the world E Am I would meet you, would you meet me? Am On a park bench, on a skyscrape C On a mountain, oh yeah, whatever it takes E Am I would meet you, would you meet me?
Chorus:
Am Dm I'm glad to say that we met G E I'm sad to say that the circumstances weren't on our side Am Dm So go on, go on be your own G E Go on be your own star
Verse 2:
Am What if we could, where would we go? C And if it felt right, would you want me to know? E Am I would meet you, would you meet me? (two, three, four) Am It's like a last chance for a first dance C You're a sunrise, God, somehow exist! E Am I would you meet, would you meet me?
Chorus:
Am Dm I'm glad to say that we met G E I'm sad to say that the circumstances weren't on our side Am Dm So go on, go on be your own G E Go on be your own star
Bridge:
Dm C G You're a superstar in my eyes Dm C In my eyes Dm C G Look in my eyes Dm C G Just look in my eyes, my eyes, my eyes
Verse 3:
Am What if we could put our lives on C Hold and meet somewhere inside of the world E Am I would meet you, would you meet me? Am On a park bench, on a skyscrape C On a mountain, oh yeah, whatever it takes E Am I would meet you, would you meet me?
Outro:
Am God, I would C God, I would E Am I would meet you, would you meet me? Am C E Am* I would meet you, I would meet you
*End on this chord, let it ring out.
Vocal Melody: This changes but just so you have it in case you want to
fingerpick the entire thing. I won't tab that out because it's important you
figure that out yourself.
