Chords

I needed a Chords version to learn this, so having made it I thought I'd share. I learned from Jebus121's tab and have copied the tab from there. I've just put the lyrics together with chord names that I think work. Charlotte’s vocals are in brackets, I think you can sing both parts solo, except the 3rd ‘oooh’ in the chorus. See tabs for full Intro - it's based on the same two chords.

[Verse]

Bm            Db*     Em7          F#m7
 The world is always (some kind of daydream)

Bm       C#*    Em7              F#m7
 Another message (that they just don't see)

Bm          C#* Em7           F#m7
 I won't forget  (the day you said)

Bm          C#*     Em7          F#m7
 The simple things (they are the best)

Bm          C#*       Em7             F#m7
 I'm just a kid, (an alien) among the people

[Chorus]

 Another statement, (another daydream)

 Why do you always (say what you don't mean?)

Bm          C#* Em7           F#m7
 I won't forget  (the day you said)

Bm          C#*     Em7          F#m7
 The simple things (they are the best)
