Chords

For the C chord, you play the strumming pattern (D D U D U) 3 times normally but at the end of the third time you lift your index finger and place your pinky on the 3rd fret of the 1st string (D U D U D) then switch to having your index finger on the 1st fret of the 1st string (U U D) then removing it and playing a C without the index finger (one strum up then continue with the next chord). The F and G are regular. Sounds complicated just listen to the song a few times and you'll get it. Also, you can play this on capo 3 as well. I find it sounds just as nice and works better for some people. The C is played like this: [Relative to Capo]

[Intro] C x2 [Verse]

C
you can't be by yourself

C
you can't be by yourself 

F
they kept you in the dark 

F
in a room with nothing sharp 

      G
until you were well 

C
you told me that you were so 

C
scared of what they know 

F
but love isn't afraid 

F
love is using your first name 

       G
in the poems that I wrote 

C
follow me to a home 

C
abandoned at the shore 

F
there's a story on the walls 

F
written in marker across the halls 

    G
that you'll adore 

C
and no one can see us now 

C
like the sun behind the clouds 

F
lets grab a drink for lunch 

F
and wash out the taste of blood 

        G
from our guilty mouths 

F
when you stepped into the light 

F
I saw it running down your thighs 

           G
and thought what a beautiful sight 

                C
to see you alive
