Chords

I heard this song on One Tree Hill and instantly fell in love with it - Jana Kramer has such a beautiful voice! This is my first one of these and so the chords may not be totally accurate but I tried! Also, I taught myself to play the guitar (the piano's what I usually play) and so don't really know about tabs and things but I'll try to describe how I play it at different points instead of using the proper notation! Introduction (Whilst doing D Chord fingering) I pluck these strings: D B E G B D (teeny pause) E(2nd fret) E(3rd fret) E(5th fret) E(5th fret) (If you listen to her performance it should be easier to understand and then for the verses and choruses I tend to play a similar thing to the first part of the introduction) [Verse]
D                        A                      G
Don't tell me love is something you won't try again

        A
That's just not true

D                    A                      G
But baby right now maybe what you need's a friend

          A
Well I'm here for you
[Chorus]
D                   A
I will be by your side

             Em                            G
If ever you fall deep in the dead of the night

              D
Whenever you call

                        A
And I won't change my mind

                Em     G
No I'll see you through

        G        A
And I won't give up
(I like to pluck the E and D strings together twice for the G, then the A and D chords twice for the A chord - she sort of does that in the acoustic version ... sort of)
        G        A
No I won't give up

   G          A     D
I won't give up on you
(Repeat introduction) [Verse]
D                      A                       G
You need someone who knows you from the inside out

     A
The way I do

D                       A                  G
I've seen you walk the wire never looking down

     A
I believe in you
[Chorus]
D                   A
I will be by your side

             Em                            G
If ever you fall deep in the dead of the night

              D
Whenever you call

                        A
And I won't change my mind

                Em     G
No I'll see you through

        G        A
And I won't give up

        G        A
No I won't give up

   G          A     D
I won't give up on you

D                   A
I will be by your side

             Em                            G
If ever you fall deep in the dead of the night

        G        A
And I won't give up

        G        A
No I won't give up

   G          A     D
I won't give up on you

         G        A
You can call it love

       G          A     D (slow, gentle strum)
But I won't give up on you
Hopefully it's not too badly wrong! Enjoy :) ELAMusic xo
