This is my first tab so I'm sorry if this isn't what you're looking for, but these chords work for me,
and they're almost too easy, so enjoy! :)
I put my
Capo on 2 or 3 dependent on my mood:) I'm an alto, I don't play it in the original key, so just play around
with what works for your voice :)
G
Just when I think I need someone,
Cadd9 Em
They wrap their arms around my old bones
D Cadd9 G
And I start breaking apart
Cadd9 D
I walk away from anyone that cares about me
Cadd9 D Cadd9
But I swear my skin's not as rough as I make it out to be
Cadd9 G Cadd9
The saddest part is I've been distant since I was sixteen,
Em D
It keeps me up in bed
Cadd9 G
I'm stuck here with all the choices I've made
Em D Cadd9
And the chances I was too afraid to take.
G
I've called myself young and stupid,
Cadd9 D G
But lately I feel old and desperate
Cadd9 G
I find it kind of weird how you find yourself
When you have no one
Cadd9 G D G
I look for the right things in all the wrong places
Cadd9 G Cadd9
The saddest part is I've been distant since I was sixteen,
Em D
It keeps me up in bed
Cadd9 G
I'm stuck here with all the choices I've made
Em D Cadd9
And the chances I was too afraid to take.
