Intro -x2-: AGbm A Verse: A Gbm A Gbm A I’ve learned to slam on the brake A Gbm A Gbm A Before I even turn the key A Gbm A Gbm A Before I make the mistake A Gbm A Gbm A Before I lead with the worst of me A Gbm A Gbm A Give them no reason to stare A Gbm A Gbm A No slipping out if you slip away A Gbm A Gbm A So I got nothing to share A Gbm A Gbm A No I’ve got nothing to say Pre-Chorus: Gbm D Step out, step out of the sun A E If you keep getting burned Gbm D Step out, step out of the sun A Because you’ve learned E Because you’ve learned Chorus: Gbm On the outside D Always looking in A E Will I ever be more than I’ve ever been? Gbm D Cause I’m tap, tap, tapping on the glass A E I’m waving through a window Gbm D I try to speak but nobody can hear A E So I wait around for an answer to appear Gbm D Oh I’m watch, watch, watching people pass A E Gbm I’m waving through a window E Can anybody see? A D Is anybody waving back at me? Interlude: A E Verse: A We start with stars in our eyes D E We start believing that we belong Dbm E But every sun doesn’t rise A D E And nobody tells you where you went wrong Pre-Chorus: Gbm D Step out, step out of the sun A E If you keep getting burned Gbm D Step out, step out of the sun A Because you’ve learned E Because you’ve learned Chorus: Gbm On the outside D Always looking in A E Will I ever be more than I’ve ever been? Gbm D Cause I’m tap, tap, tapping on the glass A E I’m waving through a window Gbm D I try to speak but nobody can hear A E So I wait around for an answer to appear Gbm D Oh I’m watch, watch, watching people pass A E Gbm I’m waving through a window E Can anybody see? Is anybody waving? Interlude: A E Gbm D When you’ve fallen in a forest, and there’s nobody around A E Gbm D do you ever really crash or even make a sound? Bridge: Gbm D Did I even make a sound? A E Did I even make a sound? Gbm D It’s like I never made a sound A Will I ever make a sound? Chorus: Gm On the outside Eb Always looking in Bb F Will I ever be more than I’ve ever been? Gm Eb Cause I’m tap, tap, tapping on the glass Bb F I’m waving through a window Gm Eb I try to speak but nobody can hear Bb F So I wait around for an answer to appear Gm Eb Oh I’m watch, watch, watching people pass Bb F Gm I’m waving through a window F Can anybody see? Bb Is anybody waving back at me? Eb F Gm F Is anybody waving waving waving? Eb Bb Whoa whoa

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.

Platt is perhaps best known for originating the role of the title character in the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen, a performance for which he has won numerous awards, including the 2017 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical. Platt's credits also include the role of Elder Arnold Cunningham in The Book of Mormon, as well as Benji Applebaum in the musical films Pitch Perfect (2012) and Pitch Perfect 2 (2015).

instead of using a and gbm, Use c, csus4 and csus2. It sounds amazing! So do
c csus4 csus2
ive learnt to slam on the brake.
the chords are easier than e so google them
if anyone wants (in my opinion) a better way to play this i recommend checking out liana flores on youtube because she has done this musical mashup and her way of playing waving through a window really sounds like the original! she has a chord chart for it online as well
i found that if you change the A to E in the intro, it matches the 3 chords played in the intro of the song :)
Aw I love that they remember the theatre kids on Ukutabs<3
:) Aren’t trees amazing tho? 😊
+3
It sounds better if you put a capo on 2 while keeping the transpose on 0. :)
On +3, if you take the chords from +5 (Bm, G, D, A) for the key change its way easier.
Can anyone recommend a good strumming patternt?
Strum pattern????????
what i do for the verses is fingerpicking all strings at once (i dont know the technical term sorry!!). Like, say you pick the A string with your ring finger, E with your middle finger, and etc.. for all 4 strings. then do that simultaneously while your fretting hand is doing the chords. it mimics the cool piano staccato effect in the actual song! for the chorus just do a standard strumming pattern.
