************************************************************************************ The piano often plays a G after the Gadd4, and for strumming it might sound better. But these are the chords used in the song by Passenger. The fingerpicking for the verses is generally the same as a lot of his other songs, including Let Her Go:

[Intro] Fmaj7 Gadd4 Gadd4 C Fmaj7 Gadd4 Gadd4 C [Verse 1]
        Fmaj7
Fill my lungs full of smoke

        Gadd4
Fill my belly full of beer

        C
Fill my nights with bad jokes,

Em7     Am7
told by folks full of fear

Fmaj7
Fill my eyes with the stinging

        Gadd4                           C
Fill my time with wishing she was here

        Fmaj7
Fill my wide with the narrow

        Gadd4
Fill my safe full of danger

C
Fill my bed full of shadows

Em7     Am7
Fill my dreams full of strangers

Fmaj7
Fill my ears with a ringing

        Gadd4                     C
Fill my heart with a fear of fear
[Verse 2]
             Am       Fmaj7            C
Well fill my cup half empty cause it's never been half full

        Am           Fmaj7        Gadd4
Fill me up, paint me over, like a damp patch on the wall

Fmaj7                                C            G       Fmaj7
Leave me lying on my stomach on your neighbour's bathroom floor

                                   Gadd4  G
I'm only here till tomorrow anyway

            Am         Fmaj7       C
I'm burning up, like a fever that rages in the night

         Am        Fmaj7         Gadd4             G
Spark me up, I'm a firework I'll burst into light

        Fmaj7                           C G          F
For it's better to burn out than to fade out of sight

                                  Gadd4     G
That's what someone told me anyway
[Verse 3]
           Fmaj7
So fill my lungs full of smoke

        Gadd4
Fill my belly full of beer

C
Fill my nose full of cocaine

Em7     Am
Fill my eyes full of tears

Fmaj7
Fill my short with a longing

      Gadd4       G                     C       C7
Fill my time with wishing I wasn't here

           Fmaj7
Oh fill my past with regret

        G
Wrap my present in brown paper

C                            Em7
Fill my future with promises,

    Am
the promise to come later

Fmaj7
Fill my heart with a stinging

        Gadd4
Fill my heart with a fear of fear
[Outro] C Fmaj7 G C
