Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 1 half step down [ -1 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 1 to stay in the same key

I'm leaving you love notes in the kitchen, say it all
           Db              Ab
I know you said to mind my business
          Eb           Fm
But Cupid sent me on a mission
            Db                Ab               Eb

           Cm
I used to laugh all on my own

Let's keep each other safe from the world

But I'll carry around our worried flurried minds

But I'll let go if you do too

Happy birthday, Merry Christmas

Bridge:
     Ab
My common sense is powerless
            Cm
And I'm convinced that you
 Fm                   Eb
Caught me lucky, it's just the half of it
Db
The better half of me that I couldn't quit
       Ab
'Cause now I'm flying across the country
          Cm
More than monthly for you
       Fm               Eb
You've got me more than clumsy
     Db
But you're my yellow lovely

Awsten Knight's Sunglases

I just got me a girlfriend (wlw) and I am so going to sing this song for her. Whenever I hear this song I think about her.

Awsten Knight Took The Kids

-1 with your uke tuned G4# C4# F4 A4# sounds amazing, but remember to be careful when tuning your uke up lol i’m not responsible for you breaking your uke strings

miinx

I LOVE WATERPARKS, UKUTABS NEEDS MORE SONGS BY THEM, LIKE DIZZY AND ALL THE DOUBLE DARE OR SONGS OR WAIT BETTER YET, ALL OF THEIR SONGS.

alyisnotfun

y’all need more waterparks songs !!

Yodawg

-3 with the capo on the 3rd fret! (sounds amazingggg)

redpandasaregr9

this is great! just a couple of things i’d change:
-in the chorus and interlude, Em should be Bm (when transposed -1)
-for the pre-chorus, i’d change it to this to make it more like the original:

G
Because I know it’s hard to let yourself be fine
Bm
When we carry ’round our worried flurried minds
C
But I’ll let go if you do
Cm
too

Nancy Dorow

This is really great!!!

dusty rose

+4 is really nice and pretty easy

LuckyPotatoPeople

For me it’a easier to use +4. Try it out if you want! I think it’s the easiest out of all the other ones. And for the strumming pattern just watch the original video on YouTube to listen to it and you’ll hear the strumming pattern (since I can’t just tell you the strumming pattern due to copyright reasons and that’s how i got my strumming pattern too). I hope you find this useful 😉

Batman

If you go to -1 and capo the first fret it sounds much better.
