Chords

The notes in parenthesis (in the C and Am picking patterns) are played occasionally, and when you do, don't play the note played at the same time on the B string. Listen to the recording to find when to play these notes in parenthesis! The song works well without them too, so this step is optional but a bit more accurate. C is picked:
e|------------------(0)-----------------------------(0)--------------
B|---1---------1-----1---------1-----1---------1-----1----=----1-----

[Verse 1]
C
I think I found a fear of mine

                           F
That you might love for no reason

Am
You know I worry

                       C
Only luck brought me to you

C
I'm half awake most of the time

                            F
It's just the timing of the seasons

Am
So you know I worry

C
That you're all I have to lose
[Chorus]
    C G      Am     C            F
And I should change this way of thinking

     C   G  Am                 F
That all my fears are facts of life

    G       C   F
But I could die tomorrow

  G      C      F
You'd be close behind
[Post-Chorus]
Am G  C  F   Am  G  C  G  F
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

F          C
Close behind
[Verse 2]
C
I live my life in years to come

   Am                 F
To prepare myself for sorrow

Am
So I won't worry

                       C
When I crumble at your feet

C
It's something sinister to love

        Am              F
Without regard for dear tomorrow

Am
To search for worry

                   C
Is to love without deceit
[Chorus]
    C G      Am     C            F
And I should change this way of thinking

     C   G  Am                 F
That all my fears are facts of life

    G       C   F
But I could die tomorrow

  G      C      F
You'd be close behind
[Post-Chorus]
Am G  C  F   Am  G  C  G  F
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

F          C
Close behind
[Bridge]
C G Am   C   F   C  G
    Mmm, mmm mmm mmm

Am   C   F
Mmm, mmm mmm

        G   C   F
mmm-mmm mmmmmm mmm

        G   C   F
mmm-mmm mmmmmm mmm

    C
mmm mmm
[Chorus]
    C G      Am     C            F
And I should change this way of thinking

     C   G  Am                 F
That all my fears are facts of life

    G       C   F
But I could die tomorrow

  G      C      F
You'd be close behind
[Outro]
C  G Am      C         F
So I fill my days with thinking

C       G   Am         C       F
Though, I'm years from my true time

 G      C   F
I could die tomorrow

  G      C     F
You'd be close behind

      C
Close behind
