This is a fairly simple piece, it just requires a lot of bar chords. If you don't want
to use bar chords, you can also play it with a capo, but it doesn't sound as good.

B (x2444x@1) EWhere (022100@1)her feet didn't reach the ground
G#m (133111@4) F#And (244322@1)when she kisses me it tasted like cinnamon

I finally made it this town looks rearranged
B (x2444x@1) EI (022100@1)don't know these people anymore
B (x2444x@1) EBut (022100@1)in the best ways not much else has changed
B (x2444x@1) EFrom (022100@1)the way it was before
G#m (133111@4) F#And (244322@1)at least they still have this certain table
B (x2444x@1) EWhere (022100@1)I once carved a particular name
B (x2444x@1) EI (022100@1)run my finger through the weathered carving

If you don't want to use bar chords, put a capo on the fourth fret and use G instead of
B, C instead of E, E minor instead of G#m, and D instead of F#.
