BRIDGE G F I thought that I heard you laughing, Dm G Am Am Am Am I thought that I heard you sing. Am F F Dm G Am I think I thought I saw you try.

VERSE 3 Am Consider this, consider this, Em The hint of a century, Am Consider this: the slip Em That brought me to my knees failed. Am What if all these fantasies Em Come flailing around?

Then the verse starts
For strumming, I like to do DD-UU-D-U and repeat.
outro is going like (a string): 7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-3-0-5-3-0-3-0
The outro is:
A/-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-
E/—————-8-8-8-5-5-5-5-5
Repeat the sequence 3 times then
A/-7-5—5——
E/—-8-5-8-5-8-
Then Am chord. Sorry if thats confusing, but I tried.
Isn’t it “Try, cry, fly, try” in the final bridge?
In the final bridge, shouldn’t it be “Try, fly, cry” instead of “Try, fly why”?
The correct pattern for most of the song is accually:
D D DUDU UD DUDU.
The 8-5 sequence doesn’t overlap the 7-5 sequence, it just submitted that way.
+2 for higher tone
how is the link supposed to work because it doesn’t sound right
Love this song. Thanks for adding it.
in the outro i do the plucking like this:
A: 7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-3-0-5-3-0 E: 3-5
