Alot of people wanted a tab of this song with the little details, hammer-ons,
etc, so I wrote this tab. It’s really fun to play, but might take practice. I
also recommend listening to the song for strumming and timing.
This chord is used in the third line of the verses.

The strumming pattern is pretty simple but I recommend listening
to the song to get it perfect.
Verse 1:
G Em Am G
There’s nothing I could say to make you try and feel ok
Am C D
And nothing you could do to stop me feeling the way I do
Am B* C D
And if the chance should happen that I never see you again
Figure 1
Just remember that I’ll always love you

Verse 2:
G Em Am G
I’d be a better person on the other side I’m sure
Am C D
You’d find a way to help yourself then find another door
Am B* C D
To shrug off minor incidents make us both feel proud

I just wish I could be there to see you through
