Intro (x2): D A Asus2 Verse 1: D A I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you Asus2 But I can't really find D A Any other way to form these feelings into cubes Asus2 And sort them in my mind D A The negative thoughts go on the left Asus2 The happy things on the right D A Asus2 And there's a little corner saved just for you Interlude (x2): D A Asus2 Pre-chorus: Gbm D Please let me know if you change your mind 'Cause inside I'm falling A E And I need you to pull me out of this decline Gbm D I realize how hard on you this must seem A But trust me when I say E It's far, far worse for me Chorus: A D Please, please be here for me dear 'Cause I've never needed a friend more Gbm And I can't stress enough D How much it means to me that you're trying A And I don't mind D If you can't hold me like you used to Gbm 'Cause I've never hated myself more D But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying Interlude: A D Gbm D Verse 2: D A Give me a moment to get my cards in line Asus2 'Cause I'm still trying to figure out D A Asus2 What kind of order I should set them out D A Asus2 If there was a way to explain everything without a word D A Asus2 I'd have a full house right now without a doubt Pre-chorus: Gbm D I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes A But a part of me wants to let you be E 'Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become Gbm D I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out It's like we're in a dream state A E But I should've woken up, woken up by now Chorus: A D Please, please be here for me dear 'Cause I've never needed a friend more Gbm And I can't stress enough D How much it means to me that you're trying A And I don't mind D If you can't hold me like you used to Gbm 'Cause I've never hated myself more D But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying Outro: A D I promise I'm trying A Dsus2 A This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. The groove sits around 96 bpm, a medium pace. On this page the song is in A major. The chords stay at the rookie level, nothing tricky in there. Start soft in the verse and open the strum up when the drums come in.

How the friggin noodle do I play the asus chord?!
Y e s
I love this song so much omg
strumming pattern ?
i love this song!!!
Yes i asked for this!!!!!!
ok who has like a transposition that sounds like the original so i dont have to play Asus2 (if u need this i have a soprano please help me)
Dude, it sounds so good with a baritone uke. The fingering is easier as well losers. Im kidding, but seriously its sounds amazinggggggggg,
no one:
me crying to this song:
-2 with a capo on the 2nd fret is easy and sounds great too! you can also still use @LittleKittle ‘s plucking uwu
I personally don’t play the Asus2, I just continue playing A until it gets to D, it sounds nicer in my opinion
this song is much easier on +3 just for those who need to know ^^
You can replace the first verse chords with alternating D and F#, then A and C#, then finally A and B then repeat if you want to be weird.
OKOKOKOK DISCOVERY I MADE no transposition that Asus2 chord is unnecessary
i love this song-
