G           Bm     Em          C D 
However you feel, whatever it takes 
G             Bm    Em         C    D   
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits me 
G             Bm    Em         C  D 
Whatever you need, however so slight 
G             Bm    Em            C  D 
Whenever it's real, whenever it's right 
Em                         Em7/D#                    Em7/D     Em/C# 
I've been thinkin' long and hard about the things you said to m---e 
C              G 
Like a bitter stranger 
Em                    Em7/D#                        Em7/D    Em/C# 
Now I see the long and short, the middle, and what's in betwe---en 


C                  G         A7      C 
I could spit on a stranger (Pull me out) 
C                 G        A7      C 
You're a bitter stranger (Pull me out)  
 
 
G            Bm     Em          C D 
Whatever you feel, whatever it takes 
G             Bm    Em         C    D   
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits me 
G             Bm    Em         C  D 
Whatever you need, however so slight 
Em                     Em7/D#                     Em7/D      Em/C# 
Honey, I'm a prize and you're a catch and we're a perfect ma---tch 
C                 G 
Like two bitter strangers 
Em                    Em7/D#            Em7/D     Em/C# 
Now I see the long and short, and I can make it last 
 
REPEAT CHORUS (3 times) 
 
 
C                 G   A7  C 
See the sunshine eyes 
C                         G    A7  C 
Try the things you never tried 
C                                G     A7    C 
I'll be the one that leaves you high, high, high 
 
  
In the Em walkdown you can just play Em to Em7 if you want to keep it 
simple, but the chords aren't difficult to play, just takes some 
practice getting used to them.
