Alright so this is my first post and its all by ear, so please feel free to post 
suggestions and improvements! LOVE this song! :)
<3 Lindsay

Intro:
You can either play the chords: D - Bm - Asus - G
or for the picking pattern: its pretty much the same chord formation while picking the 
strings d-gd-b-g so example!

D chord:
e-----------------|
b----------3------|
g------2-------2--|
d--0-----0--------|
a-----------------|
E-----------------|
   1   2   3   4
and same pattern just in the shape of a Bm, Asus, and G :)
lemme know if you want the full tabs!

Verse 1:
D       Bm        Asus4
Home is where you are,
        G                       D
Kind of tragic that I left your side.
           Bm              A     G
Left your side, left your side     ......etc. etc.



Pre-Chorus:
Bm        Asus4             G
  I gotta tell you how it feels now.



Chorus:
          G           D
Youre my air, when I feel I cant breathe.
A                                     Bm
  Catching me, when Im tripping over my feet.
G          D               A
 Well get through this together.
          G             D
Youre my smile, when I just want to cry.
A                                 Bm
Make it all better as you kiss my sad eyes.
G           D         A
 Im giving you my forever and ever.



(NOTE::: if you don't like staying on the G from the end of the pre-chorus up to the 
beginning of the chorus, squeeze an A chord at "You're my" :)
I personally like it better without, it follows the real song.
Also, Asus is optional throughout the pre-chorus and chorus, I prefer just A.)



Instrumental: D-Bm-Asus4-G



Bridge:
Bm                           A
  Sat down thought about it today,
     D                               G
If I only had a breath what would I want to say?
Bm                                 A
  Something sweet, something real, something real sweet.
G
 Thought real hard.
         Bm
And only one thing,
A      D
  Only one thing,
G          Bm         A      G
  Oh only one thing, came to me.

(NOTE::: There's quite a few parts in the song that play the chords on the offbeat.
So as seen in the bridge, the A and G chord are played on the offbeat in the real recording.
So on an eight count, it would be like: Bm,Bm,Bm,Bm,Bm,A,A,A etc.
if it's easier to keep the rhythm by playing on the downbeat instead, go for it!)

HOPE THIS HELPS! :)
if anyone would like to see the full song mapped out instead of just the main idea, let 
me know and Ill post the full thing!
 Have fun with it!
