This is probably one of my favourite songs from his new album, I love the story and emotion in these lyrics. So I thought I should tab this song for you guys. I didn't really work out the intro with the finger picking because I wanted to play and sing along as quick as possible haha, so that's open for interpretation. Tuning EADGBe Chords Em (022000) C (X32010) G (320033) G/F# (200033) D (XX0232) end of intro G G/F# Em C G G/F# Well, as a child I mostly spoke inside my head Em C G G/F# I had conversations with the clouds, the dogs, the dead Em C G And they thought my broken, that my tongue was coated lead D C Em But I just couldn't make my words make sense to them D C G G/F# If you only listen with your ears... I can't get in Em C G G/F# And I spent my evenings pullin' stars out of the sky Em C G G/F# And I'd arrange them on the lawn where I would lie Em C G And in the wind I'd taste the dreams of distant lives D C Em And I would dress myself up in them through the night D C G While my folks would sleep in separate beds... and wonder why woo's (G/F#, Em, C, G, G/F#, Em, C, G, G/F#, Em, C, G, D, C, Em, D, C, D, G, G/F# Em C G G/F# And through them days I was a ghost atop my chair Em C G G/F# My dad considered me a cross he had to bear Em C G And in my head I'd sing apologies and stare D C Em As my mom would hang the clothes across the line D C G G/F# And she would try to keep me empty... from her eyes Em C G G/F# So, then one afternoon I dressed myself alone Em C G G/F# I packed my pillowcase with everything I owned Em C G And in my head I said "goodbye," then I was gone D C Em And I set out on the heels of the unknown D C Em So my folks could have a new life of their own D C So that maybe I could find someone D C G Who could hear the only words that I'd known woo's (the same chords again but ending on a D) Hope this helps sorry if it feels rushed I'm writing this before work haha.
