I usually Travis-pick the intro, then strum the rest.
These lyrics differ slightly from other tabs - these are from the artists website.
[Intro] G C Em D G C D Dsus4
[Verse 1]
G Em
Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep
C
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet
G
Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go
[Verse 2]
Em
Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go.
C
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show?
G
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.
[Pre-chorus]
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
Em
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
C
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
[Verse 3]
G Em
And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night.
C
Said he'd seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me,
G
So I set out to cut myself and here I go.
[Pre-chorus]
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
Em
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
C G D
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
[Chorus]
C G
I'm not calling for a second chance,
Bm Em
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
C Em
Give me reason but don't give me choice
Am C G
‘Cause I'll just make the same mistake a-gain.
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
[Verse 4]
G Em
And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak
C
Don’t buy the promises ‘cause, there are no promises I keep
G
And my reflection troubles me, so here I go
[Pre-chorus]
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
Em
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
C G D
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
[Chorus]
C G
I'm not calling for a second chance,
Bm Em
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
C Em
Give me reason but don't give me choice
Am C
‘Cause I'll just make the same mistake
C G
I'm not calling for a second chance,
Bm Em
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
C Em
Give me reason but don't give me choice
Am C G
‘Cause I'll just make the same mistake a-gain.
[Outro]
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
Em
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
C
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
G
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
Em
Saw the world turning in my sheets
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
C
And once again I cannot sleep
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
G
Walk out the door and up the street
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
Look at the stars
Em
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
C
Look at the stars fall down
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
And wonder where
Aah-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
G
Did I go wrong?
