This beautiful song was originally written by the wonderful Maisie Peters
and I urge you to go and listen to her song on spotify or any other platform because it's so amazing!
I did a cover of it on my YT channel in the key of G, because I found it easier
to sing in and here is the link, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpKNbI8hH-Y)
I've commented the chords in G there. This is my first ever tab so I'm sorry if
it doesn't work properly or if there's any problems!
Comment any improvements below! Hope you enjoy singing this beautiful song!
Also, thank you to my wonderful music teacher for helping me get the chords!
[Verse 1]
E B/D#
Maybe I'm better off
G#m A
A little taller now you're gone
E B/D#
Writing words and they don't sting
C#m Aadd9
But they don't mean half as much without you listening
[Pre-Chorus]
B
The crying at the piano
C#m
You're like stood in the shadows
A
When I try to soften my words
[Chorus 1]
E B/D# C#m B
Maybe we brought out the worst in each other
A E/G# F#m B
A million full stops on our skin
E B/D# C#m B
But baby the songs that I wrote as your other
A B E
Are the best I'll ever sing
C#m A E
'Cause they all go ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
C#m A E
Like there was a choir in every line back then
C#m A E
'Cause they all go ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
C#m B E
And that was the best I'll ever sing
[Verse 2]
E B/D#
I don't see you at my shows
G#m A
'Cause if you heard this, it would cut too close
E B/D#
Wish I could stop writing us, God knows I've tried
G#m Aadd9
Every moment immortalized
[Pre-Chorus]
B
The crying at the piano
C#m
You're like stood in the shadows
A
When I try to soften my words
[Chorus 2]
E B/D# C#m B
Maybe we brought out the worst in each other
A E/G# F#m B
A million full stops on our skin
E B/D# C#m B
But baby the songs that I wrote as your other
A B E
Are the best I'll ever sing
C#m A E
'Cause they all go ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
C#m A E
Like there was a choir in every line back then
C#m A E
'Cause they all go ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
C#m B E
And that was the best I'll ever sing
[Bridge]
F#m B
And when the curtain falls, I'll bury you again
F#m B
Every lyric is a letter that I'll never send
F#m B
A piece of me from when
[Chorus 3]
C#m A E
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
C#m A E
Like there was a choir in every line back then
C#m A E
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
C#m B E
And that was the best I'll ever sing
E B/D# C#m B
Maybe we brought out the worst in each other
A E/G# F#m B
A million full stops on our skin
E B/D# C#m B
But baby the songs that I wrote as your other
A B E
Are the best I'll ever sing
