I chose to use barre chords instead of regular chords because it gave off a fuller sound:
e|-5-3-1-2--2--3-|
B|-5-3-1-2--3--4-|
G|-5-4-2-3--4--5-|
D|-7-5-3-4--4--5-|
A|-7-5-3-4--2--3-|
E|-5-3-1-2--x--x-|
Am G F F# Bm Cm
Intro:
Am G

I will try and start over but I think I must choose someone else

Am G
of the flowers that grew from the cracks in the ground you paved

when the riddles connected the dots of this constellation
