(I like to finger pluck the top three or four strings all at once for each chord, rather than use a pick.)
[Verse 1]
Emaj7 A#m7
I watch life inside of you grow
Amaj7 G#m7
Every month a little bit bigger
Emaj7 A#m7
All the things that bothered your soul
Amaj7 G#m7
Made me smile and go crazy
Emaj7 A#m7
I wanted to start it with you
Amaj7 G#m7
But somebody said we ain't ready
Em7 A#m7
I admit inside me lived fear
Amaj7 G#m7 Gm7
Fear I never wanted to show you
[Chorus]
(I begin plucking in a more funky/jazzy way during this part, with soft slaps)
F#m7 G#m7
They will always haunt my dreams
A#m7 Amaj7
The green twins with your eyes
F#m7 G#m7
They will always haunt my dreams
A#m7 Amaj7 B7
The green twins with your eyes
[brief singing harmony interlude]
[Verse 2]
Emaj7 A#m7
We could've moved to LA
Amaj7 G#m7
It's always sunny bright out there
Emaj7 A#m7
If I had it my way
Amaj7 G#m7
We woulda stayed where we started
(sing louder and up an octave starting now)
Emaj7 A#m7
I wanted to start it with you
Amaj7 G#m7
But someone said we ain't ready
Emaj7 A#m7
I admit inside me lives fear
Amaj7 G#m7 Gm7
Fear I never wanted to show you
[Chorus]
x2
F#m7 G#m7
They will always haunt my dreams
A#m7 Amaj7
The green twins with your eyes
F#m7 G#m7
They will always haunt my dreams
A#m7 Amaj7 B7
The green twins with your eyes
Repeat chorus chord progression while singing like a distorted soulful alien as your human guitar fades out.
