Man this song gives me the feels *sniff*
I found this song from heartstopper. Kind of getting me through this gay crisis rn.
Love this but the only thing I change when I play it is Am7 (all strings open) instead of Bbdim it just sounds better for me in the chord progression.
this is my favourte song of all time!
