This is a pretty straightforward tune.  I was watching a YouTube video of Shawn performing this solo
acoustic so I thought I'd take this time to make some minor corrections.  I do not own the rights to
the song and this is solely for education purposes.

Standard tuning CAPO 2:
(all chords are relative to capo)

Outro:

G, Em7, Cadd9, D
Em7, D, G**, C


!!!NOTES!!!
*There is a descending bass lick when transitioning from the Cadd9 to G a couple of times throughout
the song that goes along with the vocal melody. I have the lyrics separated with hyphens to distinguish
where the notes should fall in that lick. It goes as such:
   
e|----------3--|
B|----------3--|
G|----------0--|
D|----------0--|
A|-3--2--0--2--|
E|----------3--|

**There is an ascending bass lick when transitioning from the G to C in the outro. It goes as such:

e|-3--------0--|
B|-3--------1--|
G|-0--------0--|
D|-0--------2--|
A|-2--0--2--3--|
E|-3-----------|
