So I tried to make a really simple version of this for beginners, since I'm one
honestly. I couldn't figure out the chords exactly, but it's playable (:
No Capo.
The Chords are G, D, Am, A
Intro:
D - G
First Verse :
D G
Don't cry, try not to wait up for me tonight
D
I'm leaving for the future and it's bright
G
Being swept off my feet like a drifting kite
Second Verse :
D G
And I'm regretting all the choices that I make
D
But I know we can learn from our mistakes
G
With every single new step that we take
First Bridge :
D
I don't repeat myself I'm not a parrot
G
You know how I feel and that's apparent
Am
Our final move's to win or lose
A G
And I can't make you choose, it's up to you
