Chords
This sheet is based on his live performance at Out of the Blue Fest.
I've also used a video of an Instagram-Live and snippets from tiktok to make this sheet.
This song also sounds great in open D.
He plays an Emaj7sus2(-ish) chord and an open C#m7 in the Verse and barre-chords in the chorus,
but you can also play Bm instead of Emaj7sus2 and a normal C#7
The formatting might seem weird sometimes, but it makes sense, once you play.

[Verse 1]
E C#m7 I grew up pretending sticks were little guns E C#m7 I would point 'em at my dad, and he'd get mad Emaj7sus2 A 'Cause God forbid I'd hurt someone E I'd hurt anyone I could E C#m7 Emaj7sus2 Anyone who got too close, and anyone who wouldn't look
[Verse 2]
E C#m7 I was born into a one hundred-year storm E Foot of ice across Vermont C#m7 Emaj7sus2 A And in that dark, and in that frost, a heart was formed E Malcontented and unwarm C#m7 Emaj7sus2 You were unprotected, not unwarned
[Chorus]
A E F#m C#m7 That I'm the trouble ahead, and I scream in my sleep A E C#m7 ( C#m7 Bm ) You put your money on red, I'm a sure bet at a losing streak A E F#m C#m7 I keep showing you doors, but you can't opеn them up A E C#m7 It gets harder to see mе the closer you try to look
[Post-Chorus]
C#m Bm A I just live here, babe, but you're the one who decided to knock E You knock
[Bridge]
E C#m7 Have you ever stared directly at the Sun? E C#m7 Emaj7sus2 A Have you ever shared some closeness so exposed to have it spit back by someone? A E So, forgive me if I jump C#m7 Emaj7sus2 A At the rattle of your keys, "Oh, are you leaving?", "No, babe, I'm just waking up" E But now what? C#m7 Emaj7sus2 A I'm left staring at the ceiling, listing reasons you should pack all your shit up
[Chorus]
A E F#m C#m7 That I'm the trouble ahead, and I scream in my sleep A E C#m7 (C#m7 Bm) You put your money on red, I'm a sure bet at a losing streak A E F#m C#m7 I keep showing you doors, but you can't opеn them up A E C#m7 It gets harder to see mе the closer you try to look
[Post-Chorus]
C#m7 Bm A I just live here, babe, but you're the one who decided to knock E You knock C#m7 Bm A I just live here, babe, but you're the one who decided to knock E You knock
(But you knocked
You knocked)
