Chords

Brandi's picking/strumming seems complicated, but it's basically a Travis picking pattern with some embelishments and strums instead of some of the thumb picked notes. Also, she often hammers on the chords after the first pick/strum. Chords in parentheses are just previous chord with a hammer & pull off/release.

         Fmaj7
Was your smile always croocked?

        G6/A
Was the freedom ever free?

       Amadd9           G7*
Do you kick the rocks between your feet

      F
After all this time with me?

        F
You can listen to your own records now

  Gmaj
Decide what you believe

        Am                C6
You can pray on stars and skip the gods

     F
Like stones across the sea
[Pre-Chorus]
    Dm               G6          C      Cmaj9       Am7 (Am7*)
But I would know you anywhere, I lost myself in you

Dm            G6                 C            Cmaj9        Am7
Heavy are the hands that you are free to slip right through

C6                    Fadd#11   G
Do what you have to do
[Chorus]
C                 Am7*
There you are, my morning star

  Dm                  G6 (Gadd11)
I wondered when you'd show

C              Am7*
Give me just a quick thumbs-up

  Dm                G
A wink before you go

        Dm                 G6
I never heard that voice before today

    C      Cmaj9   Am7 (Am7*)
I remind myself to breathe

          Fadd#11   G6          Fmaj7
There you are, just you without me
G6/A Amadd9 C [Verse 2]
    Fmaj7
I'm late for another game

          G6/A
I guess I never learned the rules

  Am               C6
I showed up with a broken name

    F
And handed it to you

        F
I'm not sure if you can fix it now

    Gmaj
But if you wanted to

Am             C6
I would follow you around

    D                  Dsus  D  Dsus2
And carry all your tools
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm               G6 G7* G6   C       Cmaj9   Am7
I would know you anywhere, I found myself in you

Dm            G6                  C       Cmaj9     Am7
Heavy are the hands that hold the changes you'll go through

C6          Fadd#11      G6*
Do what you have to do
[Chorus]
C                 Am7*
There you are, my morning star

  Dm                  G6 (G7*)
I wondered when you'd show

C              Am7*
Give me just a quick thumbs-up

  Dm              G6
A wink before you go

        Dm                 G6
I never heard that voice before today

    C      Cmaj9   Am7
I remind myself to breathe

          Fadd#11   G6         C
There you are, just you... without me
Fmaj7/C C Fmaj7/C [Bridge]
      Fmaj7/C
As predictable as time and age

    G6/D
But comforting in some strange way

Am               C6           Fadd#11
Time makes every one of us an absolute cliche

    Fadd#11
But when I met you face to face

G6*
None of it was true, so

Am     C6   F       G6
Who am I if I'm not you?
G7 [Chorus]
C                 Am7*
There you are, my morning star

  Dm                  G6 (Gadd11)
I wondered when you'd show

C              Am7*
Give me just a quick thumbs-up

  Dm              G
A wink before you go

        Dm                 G6
I never heard that voice before today

    C      Cmaj9   Am7
I remind myself to breathe

    Dm          G6
I'm ever just a thought away

   C    Cmaj9    Am7
If ever you need me

             Dm            G6
You're gonna live a lot of life

             C     Cmaj9       Am7
You're gonna see a lot of years

C6     F          G         E7    Am
God willing, just you without me

  C6      F         G              C
There you are, just you... without me
[Outro]
Fmaj7/C  C               Fmaj7/C  C
         ...Without me
