[Intro - No drums - Don't do the odd time sig - this is a motif from later in the song] Bm Bm/A D D Bm Bm/A G G
[Verse - Play G 3x0003 so really rings] And I'd (drums in - play 12/4 strumming) [D] give up [Em] forever to [G] touch you 'Cause I [Bm] know that you [A] feel me some [G] how You're the [D] closest to [Em] heaven that [G] I'll ever be And I [Bm] don't want to [A] go home right [G] now
[Verse] And [D] all I can [Em] taste is this [G] moment And [Bm] all I can [A] breathe is your [G] life And [D] sooner or [Em] later it's [G] over I just [Bm] don't want to [A] miss you [G] tonight
[Chorus] And I [Bm] don't want the [A] world to [G] see me 'Cause I [Bm] don't think that [A] they'd [G] understand When [Bm] everything's [A] made to be [G] broken I just [Bm] want you to [A] know who I [G] am
[Interlude] Bm Bm/A D D Bm Bm/A G G
[Verse] And you [D] can't fight the [Em] tears that ain't [G] coming Or the [Bm] moment of [A] truth in your [G] lies When [D] everything [Em] feels like the [G] movies Yeah, you [Bm] bleed just to [A] know you're [G] alive
[Chorus] And I [Bm] don't want the [A] world to [G] see me 'Cause I [Bm] don't think that [A] they'd [G] understand When [Bm] everything's [A] made to be [G] broken I just [Bm] want you to [A] know who I [G] a

[Chorus x 2] And I [Bm] don't want the [A] world to [G] see me 'Cause I [Bm] don't think that [A] they'd [G] understand When [Bm] everything's [A] made to be [G] broken I just [Bm] want you to [A] know who I [G] a I just [Bm] want you to [A] know who I [G] am I just [Bm] want you to [A] know who I [G] am I just [Bm] want you to [A] know who I [Bm] am
[Outro] Bm Bm/A G G Bm Bm/A G G Bm Bm/A G G Bm Bm/A G G
[End] ignore this - for later reference Bm (1 triplet) Bsus2 (1 triplet + 2 beats) G (then think GMaj7) - 2 triplets then 2 beats - the 'and id' comes in the last beat of 2 so on the &2 of 1 2 3 1&2 Play G1 G2 G3 G1+Snare (stop) then sing 'and id' with no guitar Important that the strings drone lots - open strings also works as well in places
[Interlude] - 1 2S3, 1 2 3, 1 2 - Bm to Bsus2 1 2S3, 1 2 3, 1 2 - G to Gmaj7 with figure 1 2S3, 1 2 3, 1 2 - Bm to Bsus2 1 2 3, 1+S stop 2 3 no chord sing 'and you' - G
