I recommend playing all the chords barred rather than open.
It sounds better and will help with muting in the strum pattern.
B* C#* D* E*
E|----7------9------10------12------
B|----7------6-------7-------9------
G|----8------6-------7-------9------
D|----9------6-------7-------9------
A|----9------x-------x-------x------
E|----7------x-------x-------x------
The B* chord in the pre-chorus is strummed once as a transition.
It coincides with the "and" of the 3rd beat in strum pattern "Pre-Chorus (last 2 lines)".
I tried to keep the strum patterns accurate, but it might not translate all that well to acoustic guitar.
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A F#m
Sometimes I don't know what to say
C# D
So much you're at a loss for words
A F#m
Sometimes you tell me I'm alright
C# D
I barely think that I concur
A F#m C# D
And all of my friends have lost their light like c-c-c-cataracts
A F#m
And I believe that if I chase something
C# D
I'll end up with what I deserve
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C#m Bm A
There's many, many things that can you can do, yeah
C#m Bm A
There's many, many places you could see, yeah
F#m B*
But you're stuck right here
C#* D* E*
Waiting for the world to change your point of view
[Chorus]
D A C#m D
I've been nothing but notes and strings for so long, so long
D A C#m C#
I've heard nothing but my gramps telling me to go so far, so far
D A
Oh, feel it running in my hands and my head
C# D
From my toes up (to my) sore heart
A F#m C# D
I've seen nothing but growth and everybody show love, (so I) show love
[Verse 2]
A F#m
Sometimes I don't know if you're playing me, playing me
C# D
You sound rehearsed and when you talk it's like a play to me
A F#m
Say something real, don't make that face to me
C# D
I said I'm in too deep, it's not a phase
A F#m C# D
And all my friends have lost their light like cigarettes
A F#m
I believed that if I make something new
C# D
You'd love me for myself and everything I've been through
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C#m Bm A
Cause there's many many places you could be, yeah
C#m Bm A
There's many many faces you could see, yeah
F#m B*
But you're stuck right here
C#* D* E*
Waiting for my words to change your point of view
So I said
[Chorus]
D A C#m D
I've been nothing but notes and strings for so long, so long
D A C#m C#
I've heard nothing but my gramps telling me to go so far, so far
D A
Oh, feel it running in my hands and my head
C# D
From my toes up (to my) sore heart
A F#m C# D
I've seen nothing but growth and everybody show love, (so I) show love
[Outro]
N.C
Show love, show love
N.C
Show love, (so I) show love
