The chords aren't exactly similar to how he plays it in the official studio recording, but if you play with
capo 4 it should sound very similar to the song.
Intro: C Em Am
[First Verse]
C Em
If you and I, we die tomorrow
Am
would you be happy with all of the things we'd done?
C Em
Years that never seem to slow down
Am
'Till they're gone
C Em
The air, it seems, is getting cool now
Am
and I can feel my mind
C Em
Room is spinning round and round
Am
and fuck, please wake me up
C
Now I've got these memories in me until the day that I leave
Em Am
'Till the day I believe in the stories I read when I'm alone
C
I've got my family in Ohio and my girl in L.A
Em Am
My mom and dad in Texas but I can't seem to stay for too long
Am
Too long
[Refrain]
Fmaj7 C
Now when I leave it's not it's for me, it's not just for me
Am Em
The promise I keep when I was crying and you held my hand
Fmaj7 C
Tell my mother that I'm gone and my sister that I love her so
Am
And oh my father he ought to know
Em G
I've been doing just fine on my own
C
On my own
[Verse 2]
C Em
Yeah I remember you laying down there
Am
You could hardly cry, saw in your eye
C Em
Then you told us it'll be okay
Am
But fuck, I'm still not okay, okay
C Em Am
Oh yeah, all of this hurt I sing about for the chimes, the chimes
C Em
Yeah, I know I should've shown you my face more
Am
But it was easier for me to drink away my pain
Am
Now I think about it every day
C
Yeah, you said, "Now Julia and I have an angel above
Em Am
And now there'll never be a day when she's not by our side, our side,"
C
I've got my family in Ohio and my girl in L.A
Em Am
My mom and dad in Texas but I can't seem to stay for too long
Am
For too long
[Refrain]
Fmaj7 C
Now when I leave it's not it's for me, it's not just for me
Am Em
The promises I keep when I was crying and you held my hand
Fmaj7 C
Tell my mother that I'm gone and my sister that I love her so
Am
And oh my father he ought to know
Em G
I've been doing just fine on my own
C
On my own
[Hook]
C Em
If you and I, we die tomorrow
Am
would you be happy with all of the things we'd done?
[Final]
Fmaj7 C
Now and then, now and then, I just hold it in
Am Em
But oh my god, I feel it burning in my chest again
Fmaj7 C
And outside as the snow stuck, to the pavement
Am Em
My sister had tears rolling down her freezing skin
Fmaj7 C Em
Time-to-time I wonder why it had to happen so soon
C
Why'd it have to happen so soon
C Em Am C
Ooh, ooh, ooh
