Most of this song is the same chord progression as the intro is, just listen to the song to get the timing down, especially in the chorus.
Intro : BmAA/G#E x2
BmAA/G#E Watchin' the sunshine, peekin' over the skyline Thinkin' I gotta get mine, gotta try at least one time Wanna get near it, close enough to fear it Close enough to hear it, close enough to say GG/Bb That I looked it in the eye and then I turned away
(CHORUS)
And I'm not scared, but I can't move I'm not scared, but I can't move
Hangin' out on the weeknight, lookin' off the street light Gettin' into some fist fight, tryin' to cling to my birth right I wanna get near her, close enough to smell her Close enough to tell her all the things that I wanna say GAG/Bb That I looked her in the eye and made her run away
(CHORUS) And I don't care (don't care), but I can't move I don't care (don't care), but I can't move
Layin' up in the sofa, lookin' out of my window Pullin' back on some endo, watchin' breeze as the wind blow Wanna get near it, close enough to hear it Close enough to fear it, close enough to say GAG/Bb That I looked it in the eye and then it turned away
(CHORUS) And I'm not scared (not scared), but I can't move I'm not scared (not scared), but I can't move
