[Intro] Em B7 Cadd9 G – x2 Cmaj7 Cm G [Verse 1]
    Emadd9             D6/F#
Dear Josh, old friend, apologies first:

                                                 G
It's been an age since I wrote you, I know, I'm the worst

     Emadd9                     D6/F#
But you know how I feel I'm consistently cursed?

                                           G
This time I've found something, I think it could work
[Verse 2]
    Cm                 F6sus2/D
One day there she was, across the table
D#6add2 Cluttered with drinks and slightly unstable
    Cm                     F6sus2/D              D#6add2
And I knew in that moment that if I was able to reach her

                     F
She might be my saviour
[Chorus]
      A#                          A#/A
Then she sat down and started to sing

                           A#/A
Playing my guitar like a delicate thing

        Gm
Her heart shimmering through the six strings

            Cm
And I knew then, this is how it begins
[Break] G Cm G Em B7 Cadd9 G – x2 [Verse 2]
    Emadd9             D6/F#
Joshua man, you know how I am

                                        G
Sometimes I can't help myself biting the hand

          Emadd9                      D6/F#
That was feeding me love, that fit like a glove

                                     G
I'm my own worst enemy, please don't be mad
[Verse 3]
  Cm                                F6sus2/D
But if I can change myself, this can be saved

     D#6sus2
I can picture an ending as clear as your face

     Cm               F6sus2/D
A path through the wreckage, back to my place

  D#6sus2                     F
Where she waits to dispose of my fate
[Chorus]
      A#                          A#/A
Then she sat down and started to sing

                           A#/A
Playing my guitar like a delicate thing

        Gm
Her heart shimmering through the six strings

            Cm
And I knew then, this is how it begins

      A#
Our voices rise like the morning sun

                A#/A
A hush falls like dust on the room

                                       Gm
Like a bee's wing my heart starts to hum

                                  A#
And I know for sure, this is the one
[Outro]
               A#/A
This is the one

               Gm
This is the one

               Cm
This is the one

                G Cm G Cm G
And that's how it began
