Chords

This is an untitled song based on Luke singing live in this video I assume he would title it "Without You" It is best to play this song with the B and Hi E strings locked with your ring and pinky fingers on the 3rd fret like so: G - 3 2 0 0 3 3 C - 0 3 2 0 3 3 D - 2 0 0 2 3 3 Em - 0 2 2 0 3 3 Personal preference to wrap the thumb around and get the 2nd fret of the low E on the D chord, but it sounds good either way. [Intro] G C G C [Verse 1]
         G
Dad sold every record he ever owned

C
Floyd and Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones

      G                                          C
A lifetime of music gone, just to get me through

     G
Mama always had her second job

C
Gone with the sun 'til six o'clock

    G                                        C
Whatever it took to get by, she was gonna do
[Pre-Chorus]
       Em               D              C
Didn't dawn on me back then, but now I see

Em          D               C
Without them, I wouldn't be me
[Chorus]
         G
When I'm up here on this stage

     C                               G
the spotlight's on my face, but I see you

          G
Sure it's me behind this mic stand

     C
It's me strummin' this Gibson

     Em              D               C
It's me they love to give the credit to

    Em              D              G     C
But me don't mean a thing, without you
[Verse 2]
         G
You made sacrifices, night and day

C
Never hear the crowd scream your name

       G                                          C
Just a smile, and a hand to hold when the show is through

    G
I'd give all up just to keep your love

        C
But you wouldn't let me 'cause you care too much

     G                                   C
By watchin' me watch my dreams all come true
[Chorus]
         G
When I'm up here on this stage

     C                               G
the spotlight's on my face, but I see you

          G
Sure it's me behind this mic stand

     C
It's me strummin' this Gibson

     Em              D               C
It's me they love to give the credit to

    Em              D              G
But me don't mean a thing, without you
C G C [Verse 3]
           G
You worked overtime, to buy those tickets

    C
The gas, the beer, and the babysitters

        G                                                C
Just to spend one night with your baby at a country show

         G
You paid twenty damn dollars for a place to park

C
Got in line early to grab your spot

          G                                                   C
And you deserved every word, every line of your favorite tunes
[Chorus]
         G
When I'm up here on this stage

     C                               G
the spotlight's on my face, but I see you

          G
Sure it's me behind this mic stand

     C
It's me strummin' this Gibson

     Em              D               C
It's me they love to give the credit to
[Bridge]
             Em                 D                     C
And I'm just tryin' to give the credit where credit's due

       Em              D              G    C
'Cause me don't mean a thing, without you

        G
Without you
[Outro] C G
