Chords
Attempt to capture fun ukulele chords to resemble the sound of the guitar in the official lyric video:
The A chords in the verse are quick passing chords between the E and the Dsus2. I like to hammer on to
fret 2 of the C string for the A to Dsus2 transition.
In the first 3 lines of the outro he strums each chord once.
For the "waves won't break my boat" lines, it sounds like the tab below is a good match for the guitar: A Aadd9 A* Eadd11 Dsus2 Dsus2 A|-0-----0-0-0-2-----2-2-2-|-4-----4-4-4-0-----0-0-0-|-0-----0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-|-0-----0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-| E|-0-----0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-|-0-----0-0-0-4-----4-4-4-|-0-----0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-|-0-----0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-| C|-1-----1-1-1-1-----1-1-1-|-1-----1-1-1-4-----4-4-4-|-2-----2-2-2-2-----2-2-2-|-2-----2-2-2-2-----2-2-2-| G|-2-----2-2-2-2-----2-2-2-|-2-----2-2-2-4-----4-4-4-|-2-----2-2-2-2-----2-2-2-|-2-----2-2-2-2-----2-2-2-| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + | 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + | waves won't break my boat (but the...)

[Verse 1]
F#m Esus4 A Dsus2 Dsus2 Came in for the embers, stayed out for the breeze F#m Esus4 A Dsus2 I need to feel elements to remind me there's beauty when it's bleak F#m Esus4 A Dsus2 Dsus2 Stuck out long before lights down, why do I breathe?
[Chorus]
Dsus2 Oh I know, Dsus2 A Esus4 Dsus2 The more that I love the less that I feel Dsus2 A Esus4 Dsus2 The times that I jumped never were real Dsus2 A Esus4 Dsus2 They say that all scars will heal but I know F#m Esus4 Dsus2 Maybe I won't A Aadd9 A* Eadd11 Dsus2 But the waves won't break my boat A Aadd9 A* Eadd11 Dsus2 But the waves won't break my boat
[Verse 2]
F#m Esus4 A Dsus2 Dsus2 The stones crash on the boardwalk the wind rush through the trees F#m I keep my eyes peeled Esus4 A Dsus2 Dsus2 The memories always fall short of what we could have been F#m Esus4 A Dsus2 Dsus2 Left out long before last call, what do I need?
[Chorus]
Dsus2 Oh I know, Dsus2 A Esus4 Dsus2 The more that I love the less that I feel Dsus2 A Esus4 Dsus2 The times that I jumped never were real Dsus2 A Esus4 Dsus2 They say that all scars will heal but I know F#m Esus4 Dsus2 Maybe I won't A Aadd9 A* Eadd11 Dsus2 But the waves won't break my boat A Aadd9 A* Eadd11 Dsus2 But the waves won't break my boat
[Bridge]
A Aadd9 A* Eadd11 Dsus2 But the waves won't break my boat A Aadd9 A* Eadd11 Dsus2 The waves won't break my boat
[Outro]
Dsus2 A Esus4 Dsus2 The more that I love the less that I feel A Esus4 Dsus2 The times that I jumped never were real A Esus4 Dsus2 They say that all scars will heal but I know F#m Esus4 Dsus2 Maybe I wont A Aadd9 A* Eadd11 Dsus2 But the waves won't break my boat
