G5           B5     E5          C5 D5 
However you feel, whatever it takes 
G5             B5    E5         C5    D5   
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits me 
G5             B5    E5         C5  D5 
Whatever you need, however so slight 
G5             B5    E5            C5  D5 
Whenever it's real, whenever it's right 
E5                         E5                    E5     E5 
I've been thinkin' long and hard about the things you said to m---e 
C5              G5 
Like a bitter stranger 
E5                    E5                        E5    E5 
Now I see the long and short, the middle, and what's in betwe---en 


C5                  G5         A5      C5 
I could spit on a stranger (Pull me out) 
C5                 G5        A5      C5 
You're a bitter stranger (Pull me out)  
 
 
G5            B5     E5          C5 D5 
Whatever you feel, whatever it takes 
G5             B5    E5         C5    D5   
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits me 
G5             B5    E5         C5  D5 
Whatever you need, however so slight 
E5                     E5                     E5      E5 
Honey, I'm a prize and you're a catch and we're a perfect ma---tch 
C5                 G5 
Like two bitter strangers 
E5                    E5            E5     E5 
Now I see the long and short, and I can make it last 
 
REPEAT CHORUS (3 times) 
 
 
C5                 G5   A5  C5 
See the sunshine eyes 
C5                         G5    A5  C5 
Try the things you never tried 
C5                                G5     A5    C5 
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.
