it sounds better simulating it by a fingerpicking over the chords
instead of a clear and clean chord play .

fingerpicking verse :

E B C#m A B
E – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 1 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 2 – – – – |
B – – – – – – – – – 0 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 3 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 4 – – – – – – – – – – 5 – – – – – – – – – 4 – – |

just follow the same structure for the rest of the parts of the song

intro :

E B C#m A B x 2

verse :

E B
we were drawn from the weeds
C#m
we were brave like soldiers
A B E
falling down under the pale moonlight

B
you were holding to me
C#m
like a someone broken
A B C#m
and i couldn’t tell you but i’m telling you now

bridge :

( C#m ) A B C#m
just let me hold you while you’re falling apart

( C#m ) A B E
just let me hold you and we’ll both fall down

chorus :

( E ) B
fall on me
C#m A
tell me everything you want me to be
E B
forever with you forever in me
A E6
ever the same

verse :

E B
we would stand in the wind
C#m
we were free like water
A
flowing down
B E
under the warmth of the sun

( E ) B
now it’s cold and we’re scared
C#m
and we’ve both been shaken
A
hey , look at us man ,
B C#m
this doesn’t need to be the end

bridge :

( C#m ) A B C#m
just let me hold you while you’re falling apart

( C#m ) A B E
just let me hold you and we’ll both fall down

chorus :

( E ) B
fall on me
C#m A
tell me everything you want me to be
E B
forever with you forever in me
A E6
ever the same

E B
call on me
C#m A
i’ll be there for you and you’ll be there for me
E B
forever it’s you forever in me
