[Intro]
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
[Verse - Play G 3x0003 so really rings]
And I'd [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

[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
