Chords
in open D tuning, using single notes in the verses, power chords in the chorus and full chords (major, even
when it's awkward) for the outro. I put the minor chords where I thought they sounded alright and prefer to
play in drop D but that's just my prerogative, live your own life! The chords are the same for the first
verse/chorus/interlude-thing as they are for the second, with the exception of the E chord between two
choruses.

[Chorus]

[Verse]
F#m D Bm A On sunny days I go out walking F#m D Bm A I end up on a tree-lined street F#m D Bm A I look up at the gaps of sunlight D F#m G A D I miss you more than anything
[Chorus]
G A D F#m G I don't need the world to see G A D F#m That I've been the best I can be, but G A D F#m G I don't think I could stand to be G A E Where you don't see me
[Chorus]
G A D F#m G And autumn comes when you're not yet done G A D F#m With the summer passing by, but G A D F#m G I don't think I could stand to be G A F#m Where you don't see me
