I've been wanting to learn how to play this song for a while, and I just learned it by
ear. I saw the chords Shane plays live and they seem to match up.
I play mine one half step down (just because I like the sound) so that's why some of the
chord names may be a bit funny to those playing this in standard. (Chords will still
sound good either way)

(Verse 1)
A
Well I remember the first day
It was so close to the end of May
D
It's when I finally opened my eyes
I saw the sun for the first time
A
Oh and it lied in the form of a beautiful girl
D
Who would take me on the ride of my life
E D
And it's just something that I've been dying to know
(Chorus)
F#maj
Well where did you go?
D A
Cause I've been waiting here so long
F#maj
You know that I've been reading your notes
A D
They always hinted towards the fact that you were coming home
F#maj D
And as I struggle with this reality
A E
That this is all that's left of me
F#maj D A
Half of my heart, my mind, and my body are gone
(Verse 2 - same as verse 1)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
A Csus C#
So let's go back down to the bank of that river where
A
We can dive right in
Csus C#
And forget about the worries from the world outside
A Csus C#
'Cause you know my world, my world's not over
A Csus C#
Because I have an angel on my shoulder
(Chorus)
Hope it sounds good!
