so , i’m a semi – beginner . i’ve been playing for about 6 – 7 months . when i first picked up
my guitar , this was instantly one of the first songs i wanted to play because it’s
always been one of my favorites . upon searching on here , and youtube , i didn’t see any
versions that were “easy” , or that made sense at all just in general . so , i just listened and
worked on it , and this is how i think it sounds best , enjoy! : )
* * * * note : chords with the * beside them are the points of the song in which i only strum
that note once . . . that’s just how i like to play it , it isn’t necessary if you don’t
like it : )
standard tuning : no capo
F C G Am
you know it only breaks my heart
F C G Am
to see you standing in the dark ,
F C G Am
alone , waiting there for me
Em
to come back
F
i’m too afraid to show
– – – – pause F
if it’s coming over you
C
like it’s coming over me
G
i’m crashing like a tidal wave
Am
that drags me out to sea
F
and i wanna be with you
C
and you wanna be with me
G
i’m crashing like a tidal wave
Am
and i don’t wanna be . . .
