Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

All the other chords or tabs for this song are pretty much correct,
but this is the exact way Conor plays the chords in the song.
I figured it out from watching him play it at a show.
CHORDS: (all of them are played this way throughout the entire song)

C/G G F
The rain, it started tapping on the window near my bed. There was a loophole
G7 Amin
in my dreaming, so I got out of it. And to my surprise my eyes were wide and
F D7 D
already open. Just my nightstand and my dresser where those nightmares had
just been.
C/G G F
So I dressed myself and left them, out into the gray streets. But everything
G7 Amin
seemed different and completely new to me. The sky, the trees,
F D7
houses, buildings, even my own body. And each person I encountered, I
D
couldn't wait to meet.
C/G G
And I came upon a doctor who appeared in quite poor health. I said "there is
F G7
nothing that I can do for you that you can't do for yourself." He said "Oh
Amin F D7
yes you can. Just hold my hand. I think that would help." So I sat with him
D
a while and then I asked him how he felt.
F Emin Amin F Emin Amin F Emin Amin
He said, "I think I'm cured. No, in fact, I'm sure. Thank you stranger, for
G
your therapeutic smile."
(Play through verse progression once)
C/G G F
So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes
G7 Amin
must do some raining if you ever want to grow. But when crying don't help
F D7
and you can't compose yourself, it's best to compose a poem, an honest verse
D
of longing or a simple song of hope.
C/G G
And that's why I'm singing, "Baby,don't worry, cause now I got your back.
F
And every time you feel like crying,
G7 Amin
I'm gonna try and make you laugh. But if I can't, if it just hurts too bad,
F D7
then we will wait for it to pass, and I will keep you company through those
D C/G G
days so long and black. And we'll just keep working on the problem we know
F G7
we'll never solve, of Love's uneven remainder, our lives are fractions of a
Amin F
whole." But if the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a
D7 D
wall. Then I think we would see the beauty then. We would stand staring in
awe
F Emin Amin F Emin Amin F Emin Amin
at our still lives posed like a bowl of oranges, like a story told by the
G G7
fault lines and the soil.
