verse 1: (use the plucking pattern above)
[G]How can I fi[D]nd us something
[Em]That two can t[D]ake
[C]Without stum[G]bling as we
[Em]Walk into out future's w[D]ake
verse 2:
[G]I'm like a bro[D]ken record
That [Em]you can p[D]lay
[C]Repeating as [G]if it matters
[Em]Everything I wanna s[A]ay
chorus:
[G]I'll[D/F#] be alrigh[Em]t
As long as it ma[C]tters
D(hold)
As long as you're with me now
verse 3: (do chord of verse 1)
Forget that time
It's nothing we touch and see
All this time
Even as it crushes down on me
verse 4: (do chord of verse 2)
I'm looking around
There's nothing I could want
More than to tell you
There's no more than we've already got
(repeat chorus twice)
