Chords

Attempt to capture chords with intro tab for the official lyric video: Chords with an asterisk indicate a single pluck. Notes in parentheses are individual walking notes. (C E G C) indicates a walkup of the full arpeggiated C chord. C/B is a walk-down between C and Am7 on the A string Where I have C/E followed by G, I think what I am hearing is a pluck and hammer onto xx201x, followed by a pluck of the 3 open strings (xx000x).

[Intro] G Am7 G/B Am7 G Am7 G/B Am7* [Verse 1]
G                        Am7
My whole life I've been waiting

                G/B             Am7
For someone to fix this broken man

G                 Am7
Every moment, a twist of fate

        G/B             Am7
But it made me who-oo I am

       C           C/B           Am7
I'd be lyin' if I told you that I knew

  Am7/G  C     C/B            Dadd11*
I had a life before there was you
[Chorus]
    G     Am7       G/B
But these sma-a-all hands

           C/E  G    (A G)   Em          D/F#  G
They don't care where I come from, where I've been

      C/E  G  (A)     (C   E G C)                 Dadd11*
Oh, I ne - ver loved myself,     until the day I held

 Ooh-ooh-ooh         (knock, knock)
[Verse 2]
G                     Am7
There was no getting ready,

           G/B        Am7
but I am glad I'm overwhelmed

    G            Am7
The way you look back at me

              G/B             Am7
It's like I'm fin'ly seein' myself

                  C    C/B
And your mother's eyes

          Am7                Am7
It's like they were made for you

            C    C/B
But I can't lie

         Dadd11*
I've got so much work to do
