Chords

I play this song in a different key, solely because of my vocal range being higher than Ron Pope's. These chords work for playing the song in the keys of G - C (placing a capo on frets 1 through 5 will give the song in keys G# through C - a capo much higher than that will make it difficult to play). The song is originally in F, so if you wanted to, you could tune the strings down two semitones and play these chords so it will be in the original key. Intro: C Fadd9 C Am G Fadd9 x2 Verse 1:
      C   Fadd9     C    Am G
It is late and I am cold

          C   Fadd9         C   Am G
Nothing's changed except for the snow

          C
I've been waiting on an answer,

Fadd9                    C    Am G
Hoping I could call your bluff

          C
I've been giving second chances

Fadd9                C         Am G Fadd9
Thinking maybe I gave too much
Bridge:
         Am
What you want from me

         G                              C
It's not something I could give you for free

    G     Am           Fadd9       G
And all I know in this life is you can't stop breathing
Chorus:
Fadd9        C
Whatever it takes

                    G         Am G Fadd9

Just tell me you'll stay

       Am           G      Fadd9 Am              G
'Cause when we're together I see stars above the headlights

               Am      G       Fadd9
And they don't seem so far away

            C
Whatever it takes

                     G
Just tell me you'll stay

I am shamed and you are lost

        C  Fadd9                C   Am G
We both ache for things we ain't got

      C
I was praying that you'd find me

Fadd9                      C   Am G
Teach me something I don't know

Praying that you'd guide me home
