intro: pm[ E ] for as long as it takes throw in an Esus and some open strings

all pm
[ E ]                      [ E4 ] 
Take your closest friends
[ E ]                                      [ A ]      
Look them right in the eyes they will not lie
[ A ]              [ G ] [ E ]
They will not wince
[ E ]  [ A ] [ E ]  [ A ] [ E ](LISTEN FOR RYTHEM)
[ E ]                          [ E4 ]
And when someone new steps in
[ E ]                                    [ A ]
Give them time, give them mind, open your life
[ A ]                  [ E ]

[ B5 ]                                      [ A4 ]
Cause certain types of souls delight in breaking
[ A4 ]                                            [ E ]      [ E4 ]       
Lately all of my hopes have been tied up with a stranger
                          [Badd4]
She made me think I could change her
                          [ Abm ]          [ A9 ]
She made me think that my love was her own
[ A9 ]                                                    [ E ]   [ E4 ]
Because she came from a broken home she was alone in her anger
                         [Badd4]
And Claimed she couldn't remember
                     [ Abm ]           [ A9 ]
But the pain, it was etched in her bones

[Badd4]
If a seed never sees the sunlight
[ A ]                                      [ E ]
Tell me, how the hell it's supposed to grow?

[ A4 ]                                            [ E ]      [ E4 ]
Lately all of my hopes have been tied up with a stranger
                          [Badd4]

Because she came from a broken home she was alone in her anger
                         [Badd4]
And claimed she couldn't remember
                     [ Abm ]           [Add9]

[ A9 ]   
So much for heartbreak
            [ C#m ]
I'm letting go
              [ Abm ]
And I'll find forgiveness
                     [ A9 ]
For all of that went wrong in the world
                [ C#m ]
For I know that goodness

Is all we can hold
[ Abm ]                        ([A9] let ring and play slow)
Yeah, all of the rest will fade
       [ Am ]
As the dissonance resolves.

Then the chorus again

outro:
 
[Badd4]                [ A ]
If a seed never sees 
            [Badd4]               [ A ]
i said if a seed never sees the sun
[Badd4]                    [ A ]
if a seed never sees the sunlight 
[ A ]                                      [ E ]
tell me how the hell is it supposed to grow
