Please write down all the chords! It makes it very difficult having to guess everything.

rainn

if you guys need something easier (since the bm is kinda difficult, at least for me), transpose it to -2 and put a capo on the second fret, it’s okay (i promise)
seriously tho it’s a lot easier, hope this helps 🙂

embir.fire

sarah

In here, you say “I told you time and time again you sing the words but don’t know what they mean – I’m not okay –
So be a joke and look, another line without a hook”
However, I believe the lyric is
/To be a joke and look/, not /so be a joke and look/
I also think having the rest of the chords would be nice 🙂

For strumming pattern I used D DU UD U
