Chords

You Can Play The Song With A Generic "G, C, Em, C, D" Rhythm. However; To Get A More True Sound, To Replicate The Artist Closer, Jason Slides Continually From The 3rd To 7th Fret (including Capo Placement). What I've Written Is Very Close to the Sets he plays (randomly changing) Not Exact And Has Allowed Me To Make The Song "my Own". Chorus Notes: N.C. Begin In G (bar On 3rd Fret) Slide Down 1 Fret To Bsus2

Hammer Down During Change On G String To C/G,

Who's hiding under cover

And looking to discover

Every way to play the part inside
this darkened cave

The meaning of life, well it starts at
the night light

[2nd Verse]
    C/G              G
And I've, well I've seen a thousand

          C/G
things in one place

      G
But I stopped my counting when I saw

     C/G
your face

  G                     C/G
Erasing memory, well I feel as though

                  D
I've never seen a face before

                C/G
Until I saw your, eyes

            G
And they're smiling back at me through

C/G
my tears

          G                       C/G
I've been counting all these years, oh
[Bridge]
D                                 C/G
Suddenly the thousand things I've seen

                               D D D
were nothing more than dreams of,

            G  Bsus2
Of you and me.
[2nd Bridge]
        Em C/G
You and me

 G                 Bsus2
Quietly at a standstill now

      Em           C/G
Fortunately, you will, well you'll kiss

       D
Me, I will

                C/G
I will kiss you back
[3rd Verse]
        G          C/G
Oh the fact of the matter is,

                        G
Look It Look It Look It Hear,

                          C/G
And I don't know what the latter is,

      G
oh no way

                                C/G
See, I've always wanted to kiss you
But I,
                    G
I always wanted to run from you

                            C/G
Because I've always wanted to miss you
And I,
                   G            D
I always wanted to comfort you, Ooh

       C/G
Well I love my comfort foods, you said

While you always say, How do you do?
