I have watched 2,004,556 videos of Mat Kearney playing this song. I have also seen him live, front row. I suggest you watch some videos of him playing it, and then compare what you see him playing to what is in this tab. Thank you!
Studio Version:
Mat will play some of the song with the piano, and the other parts with an acoustic guitar. The tuning for the studio version is STANDARD.
Live Version:
Mat will SOMETIMES play the live version of this song in STANDARD TUNING, and other times 1/2 STEP DOWN TUNING. Mat will sometimes even tune his guitar by ear and ask, "Good Enough?" So, if you play along with his acoustic performances, it might not sound exactly right.
Here are some GREAT reference videos:
Best Reference Video (he messes up at 1:05 though):
Note: In the studio version, SOMETIMES you can hear Mat use this G chord: (x55433). For Example, listen to 1:51-1:52. (Right before he says "We're gonna get there soon")
However, Mat just plays the Gmaj6 chord live and sometimes doesn't even hit the high E string at all.
"Oh it's your light Oh it's your way Pull me out of the dark Just to shoulder the weight Cryin' out now From so far away You pull me closer to love Closer to love"
