Chords
Chords
C - G - Dm - F
However, hand positionings are going to closer resemble typical F - C - Am - C
For the C you'll be lifting and replacing the 2 finger on the G string, fret 2 most times you play the chord
For the Dm chord during the chorus you'll lift and replace the 4 finger on the small e string, fret 3
These are the hand positionings he looks to use:
C G Dm F

Notes:
1. He "walks up" to the G from the C in the second verse only
2. He plays lower strings in the same chord on the second chorus
3. He adds a few nuances to his chords during the post-chorus/outro if you care to get that detailed

[Verse]
C G
The day began like all the
Dm F
rest. A frantic beating in my
C G
chest. A panicked reeling in my
Dm F
brain. Perspective lost, but nothing gained

[Pre Chorus]
C G
I was so stuck inside my

shell. Then the ground began to

sway. I realized what mattered

most to me

2x
[Chorus]
Dm F
When the stars began to fall right out of the sky
C G
And the seas were rising up, I had one thing in mind
Dm F
It was you, it was you, it was you
C G
It was you, it was you, it was you
Dm F
When the road began to crumble in front of my eyes
C G
There was only one person I wanted to find
Dm F
It was you, it was you, it was you
C G
It was you, it was you, it was you - Darling, eh hey...

[Verse]
C G
The precious moments that we
Dm F
shared. That slow time down inside my
C G
head. I wish I'd found this
Dm F
clarity. While I still had you close to me
