I've been gone for so long now
B Gb Db
Chasing everything thats new

I have not forgotten you

We were just children but our eyes opened and
B Gb Db
You were all that i could see
B Ebm Db Gb
You came close enough to know my heart beat but
B Gb Db
Still not close enough for me

Through the good times and the bad
Db Ebm Db
You were the best I never had
B Gb Db
The only chance I wish I had to take
B Gb
But there was no writing on the wall

No warning signs to follow
B Gb Db
I know now and I just can't forget, You're the best I never had

Outro: C#
I submitted different chords a day or two after the song was released that never went through, but are in the right key and match the original better:
Gm, Eb, Bb, D7. (In that order, though I skipped the Bb in some parts like the pre-chorus.) God knows why they weren’t approved.
+2 is the correct key
+ 4 and -1 are quite easy the chords are easier for +4 but it’s a bit hard to sing
-3 with a capo on 1 is easy and in the right key. I also prefer to pluck the strings in the chords rather than strum. Doing -3 without a capo sounds nice and sultry, if your voice can go that low.
It says to play Ab on fret 2 but I think it sounds better and more like the original on fret 3
+1 is amazing for beginners
its okay with a higher voice
does anyone know a strumming pattern better than ddddu?
