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. [Intro] D [Verse]
F#m D                Bm     A
I don't know what to do without you

F#m D                 Bm      A
I don't know where to put my hands

F#m   D             Bm      A
I've been trying to lay my head down

D       F#m     G       A D
But I'm writing this at 3am
[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    F#m
Where you don't see me
[Interlude] F#m D F#m D G D Bm D Bm D A D F#m D F#m D G D Bm D Bm D A [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
[Outro] F#m D F#m D G D Bm D Bm D A D F#m D F#m D G D Bm D Bm D A D
