Chords

Attempt to capture chords for the way Mike plays this one in the 16 May 2021 live stream of Sometimes It's Something, Sometimes It's Nothing at All: I have included tab for what I believe to be the basic pattern for the intro, which also carries throughout the song when Fmaj7sus2 and C are played. The notes in parentheses are ghost notes in the official audio, but he accentuates them more in the intro for the live version. PLAYING NOTES: In the live version he only plays the chords once instead of 2 times for the instrumental section between verses 2 and 3. In the places where I have indicated changes from G to Gsus4 and back to G, you could also just stay on G. In the place where I have listed Fmaj7sus2* he changes the picking pattern to swap the notes on the high e and B strings, but you could also play the same pattern I have indicated in the intro for all of the Fmaj7sus2 chords.

[Intro] Fmaj7sus2 C x2 [Verse 1]
               Fmaj7sus2
Well, will you fill my head with stories

                                             C
'til I close my eyes and dream until the dawn

               Fmaj7sus2
And when I™'m sleeping tell me secrets

                                              C
Tell me things you've never told no one before

             Fmaj7sus2
And when you wake up hiding nothing

                                         C
Maybe you'll know how it feels to be born

            Fmaj7sus2                                              C
And I could wake up feeling something for the first time in so long
[Verse 2]
G              Gsus4            G
We could walk down towards the sea

                   Fmaj7sus2*
In the new shoes I bought you

G              Gsus4       G
Stay there for all of the day

                            Am7   Gsus4 G
While the sun plays on the water
[Instrumental] Fmaj7sus2 C x2 [Verse 3]
               Fmaj7sus2
Well, will you fill me with excitement

                                              C
Like the feeling that we felt on Christmas Eve

        Fmaj7sus2
When we didn't™ know to laugh

                    C
Or to cry into our sleeves

           Fmaj7sus2
And I know some things are not real

                                 C
But in you I truly feel I believe

         Fmaj7sus2
When we lie down on your bed

                                                       C
I press my head down on your chest and hear you breathe
[Verse 4]
       G
Well I know it's late but let's go to the sea

                     Fmaj7sus2
I know a way that is shorter

    G                 Gsus4       G
And we could sink out under the stars

                        Fmaj7sus2
You can wear my woolen jumper

    G               Gsus4      G
And we can sink out into the stones

                   Fmaj7sus2
You can lay upon my shoulder

    G                   Gsus4       G
And we could stay there all of the night

                             Am7    G
While the moon rests on the water

                             Am7    G
While the moon rests on the water

                             Am7    G  Gsus4 G
While the moon rests on the water
