note : if you want to play it the way brent does acousticly , you need to play the
prechorus like this :
F#5 ( hold ) F#5 ( x 9 11 11 x x )
so can we stop pretending
D5 ( hold ) D5
that the world is never ending?
F#5 ( hold ) F#5 ( x91111xx ) E5
will you try to find a way to believe?
you can also play the chorus as D ( xx232 ) A ( x02220 ) E ( x22100 ) B5 ( x244xx ) if you
prefer . either one works . ( i think brent mostly plays it that way . i just prefer this way )
A – 577655
C#5 – x466
xxd5 – x577
xxa5 – 577
xxxa/G#5 – 477
xxxf#5 – 244
xxxe5 – x799
xxb5 – 799xxx or x244
xxg5 – x 10 12 12 x x or 355xxx or 3×0033 ( depends on how you play the chorus )
