Lovely tune from James Blake's second album. Playing it on guitar
just about works, strumming softly. The first couple of verses
are just a bassline playing D and A notes, it's neither a D major
nor a D minor chord really.

   D *  Dm7
e -----1- | 
B -----1- | 
G -7---2- | 
D -7---0- | 
A -5---0- | 
E ------- | 

D *
And I want you to know
I took it with me
That when things are thrown away
Like they are daily
Time passes in the constant state

                     G
So if that is how it is
        Am                  G
I don't wanna be a star
      F
But a stone on the shore
  Dm7
A door frame in the wall
                  F   Em
When everything's overgrown

D *
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn't understand but I would try to play along

       The outro is different, rather than our D*:

             F      Em     Dm7
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
( Em )  F           Em  Dm7
And I wouldn't understand but I would try to play along
