The feel is easy and can be judged by listening to the song. You can arpeggiate the chords as much as you want
(as in the video) but I like muting and strumming to create different textures.
There is also a little squiggly bit after the Bridge/ Refrain which is:
e|----------------------------|
B|----------------------------|
G|----------------------------|
D|------2---------------------|
A|----2---2--2/4/2p0----------|
E|2/4----------------2/4/2p0--|
[Verse 1]
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
So satisfied I said a lot of things tonight
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
So long Aphasia and the ways it kept me hiding
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
It's not so much exactly all the words I used
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
It's more that I was somehow down let them loose
[Verse 2]
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
So complicated, I can't wait to get explaining
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
Your listening distended out since I've been crying
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
So long Aphasia and the ways it kept me hidden
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
So long to silent nerves and hesitant oblivion
[Verse 3]
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
You came and sent me out unfurling in the street
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
I felt unprecedented confidence in speaking
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
Stick around I'm thinking things'll be alright
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
Newly delivered, won't you live with me tonight?
[Verse 4]
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
Something tonight was such a let down on my pride
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
It takes a part of me I don't got to take some things in stride
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
I'd pace around the place so quiet in myself
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
I'd wake the next and see my silence went unfelt
[Verse 5]
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
Just when I thought I had this pattern sorted out
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
Apparently my ventricles are full of doubt, now
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
Nah things go wrong sometimes, don't let it freak you out
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
But if I don't have you by me then I'll go underground
[Verse 6]
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
Nah but what you've got was in your reaches all along
F#m7 Bsus4 E A A/G#
Plus one day you'll be reaching for me and I'll be gone
F#m7 Bsus4
So to help remind myself
E A (stay strumming)
I wrote this little song
[Bridge/ Refrain]
A E C#m A
One day I won't need your love
E C#m F#m Asus2
One day I won't define myself by the one I'm thinking of
E C#m Asus2
And if one day I don't need it
E F#m7
One day you won't need it
