Either Strum or play in the same pattern as the intro throughout, obviously
without the strum at the end.
Either Standard Tuning or Capo on 1 if playing it like the intro
Also keep your 3rd and fourth finger on like this:
E----3---|
B----3---|
G--------|
D--------|
C--------|
E--------|
for everything except the chorus, but still keep it on the Em7 chord for the
chorus, hope that made sense :)
Intro:
E-----------------------------------------------|
B-----------3-----------------3-----------3-----|
G--------0-----0-----------0-----0--------0-----|
D-----2-----------2-----2-----------2-----2-----|
C--3-----------------3-----------------3--3--3--|
E-----------------------------------------------|
Verse 1
C Em7
I spent my time, watching
G C
The spaces that have grown between us.
Em7
And I cut my mind on second best,
G C
Oh the scars that come with the greenness.
Em7
And I gave my eyes to the boredom,
G C
Still the seabed wouldn't let me in.
Em7
And I try my best to embrace the darkness
G C
In which I swim.
C Em7
Now walking back, down this mountain,
G C
The strength of a turnin' tide.
Em7
Oh the wind so soft, and my skin,
G C
Yeah the sun so hot upon my side.
Em7
Oh lookin' out at this happiness
G C
I searched for between the sheets,
Em7
Oh feelin' blind, but realize,
G C
All I was searchin' for... was me.
Em7 G C
Oh oh-oh, all I was searchin' for was me.
D
Oh yeah
