Intro: D C Verse 1: D C There is a wall in my life built by you (Mmm) D C You opened a door that a kid shouldn't walk through D Oh, but I'm not bitter, I'm just tired C No use getting angry at the way that you're wired D C Ignorant trauma in one afternoon Pre-chorus: D C And I could never let you know (Ooh you'd never get it) D C And now I'm the one who can't let go (Ooh don't say it's genetic) Chorus: D C Is it real? You believe you're guiltless D C So I can tell you believe you're guiltless D But I don't think I'd feel better if I opened your eyes C I'll carry your burden 'til the day that you die D C Is it real? You believe you're guiltless D C (Mmm) Verse 2: D C I'll never know why you favour that tone (Mmm) D C Not one shred of hope so I built up my own D Oh, but I'm not bitter, I'm just tired C No use getting angry at the way that you're wired D C a dark politician will end up alone Pre-chorus: D C And I could never let you know (Ooh you'd never get it) D C And now I'm the one who can't let go (Ooh don't say it's genetic) Chorus: D C Is it real? You believe you're guiltless D C So I can tell you believe you're guiltless D But I don't think I'd feel better if I opened your eyes C I'll carry your burden 'til the day that you die D C Is it real?

I really like how it sounds when you pluck the second string once then pluck the other three strings in the rhythm that she does in the song. I think it’s one pluck of the second string followed by five plucks of the rest of them? If you put your fingers down to mute the strings a bit in between plucks it sounds shorter and more like the song too 🙂
for the intro i pull the 2nd and 3rd strings then the 1rst and 4rth and finally all strings, then for the chorus i just pull all of them in a rythmic way, and for the outro i just pull the strings marking a constant beat
