Intro: F Bb

F                     Bb
Oh, I built a world around you
F                     Bb
Oh, you had me in a dream, 
                           F
I lived in every word you said
      C         A
The stars had aligned
                  Dm       C
I thought that I found you
    Bb              C            F     Bb
And I don't wanna love somebody else


F                      Bb
Oh, we left it all unspoken
F                  Bb
Oh, we buried it alive,
                              F 
And now it's screaming in my head
F                      Bb
Oh, I shouldn't go on hoping
F                              Bb
Oh, that you will change your mind,
                             F
And one day we could start again
     C        A                 Dm       C
Well I don't care if loneliness kills me
Bb              C            F     C Dm Bb C Bb
I don't wanna love somebody else


F                            Bb
Oh, I thought that I could change you
F                            Bb                           F
Oh, I thought that we would be the greatest story that I tell
    C             A                   Dm   C
I know that it's time to tell you it's over
    Bb              C            Dm     Bb C F
But I don't wanna love somebody else

  I ignored the g string, plucked just the C string and then the E & A together. It works if you do that times for every line

-5 is definitely the easiest. For beginners it would help a bit if you changed the E to an Em. It doesn’t change drastically.

Please do not ask for strumming patterns. Sharing online how to literally play a song (i.e. strumming, rhythm and tempo) is not allowed by the MPA (Music Publishers Association) because of copyright issues.

Carefully listen to the song and try to really "feel" the rhythm. Once you get the basics of strumming, I can assure you it'll go real quick. Maybe the strumming guide can help you on your way.

A Great Big World is the new incarnation of Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino.Axel’s known for the 2011 viral hit “This Is the New Year,” which solidified him as an indie pop presence with staggering YouTube views and numerous syncs on film and television. Teaming up with longtime collaborator Chad, he’s expanding his horizons immensely into A Great Big World.The seeds for the partnership were planted early, even before Ian’s solo career took off. While both studying music at NYU, Ian tracked Chad down in the school’s practice rooms.
