F#m7add11 is named F#m7 in the lyrics section for the sake of being able to fit the chord changes to the lyrics. F#m13 omits the 5th which is quite normal in voicing a chord on guitar that in its full form contains 7 notes, as well as the 9th, but contains the 7th and 13th along with the minor 3rd which are the most important notes in determining a minor 13th chord. Can also be thought of as B7add11/F#. Hall adds a finger to go from A to Amaj7/G#, as you see in the fingerpicking section, I haven't added this chord change to the lyrics, but this continues on through the whole song, through the strumming sections you'll want to put emphasis on strumming that E string to make it stand out.

F#m7 F#m13 E A | Fingerpicking So satisfied, I said a lot of things tonight. | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | So long aphasia and the ways it kept me hiding. | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | ( ) It's not so much exactly all the words I used — | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | ( ) it's more that I was somehow down to let them loose. | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | So complicated, I can't wait to get explainin'. | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | ( ) Your listening distended out since I've been crying. | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | ( ) So long aphasia and the ways it kept me hidden | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | ( ) So long to silent nerves and hesitant oblivion. | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | ( ) You came and sent me out unfurling in the street — | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | ( ) And I felt unprecedented confidence in speaking. | ^ (regular strumming) F#m7 F#m13 E A | Muted strumming ( ) Stick around I'm thinking things'll be alright | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | ( ) Newly delivered, won't you live with me tonight? |

F#m7 F#m13 E A | Regular strumming Something tonight was such a letdown on my pride | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | It takes a part of me I don't got to take some things in stride. | F#m7 F#m13 E A | Muted strumming I'd pace around the place, so quiet in myself | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | ( ) I'd wake the next and see my silence went unfelt | F#m7 F#m13 E A | Regular strumming ( )Just when I thought I had this pattern sorted out, | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | ( ) apparently my ventricles are full of doubt, now — | F#m7 F#m13 E A | Muted strumming Nah, things go wrong sometimes, don't let it freak you out | F#m7 F#m13 E A | Regular strumming ( ) But if I don't have you by me then I'll go underground! | F#m7 F#m13 E A | Muted strumming Nah, but what you've got was in your reaches all along. | | F#m7 F#m13 E A | Plus one day you'll be reaching for me and I'll be gone, | F#m7 F#m13 E A | Low strumming ( ) so to help remind myself I wrote this little song. | with mounting | intensity A E C#m A | One day I won't need your love. | | A E C#m F#m | One day I won't define myself by the one I'm thinking of, | A E F#m and if one day I won't need it, A E C#m A B E E then one day you won't need it.
