This song is so great, but I just realized how sad and true these lyrics are….. Alessia Cara did a great job.
I love Alessia Cara! Her voice is so nice!!!I Love her songs…
i transpose it to -5. for the chorus i use DDU but for the verses i just use one down strum. for the part right before the last chorus i just do slaps to the beat.
Love this song! So empowering!
these lyrics give me goosebumps
So pretty and easy,
Also first comment
I used the strumming pattern DDUDDUD and it sounded alright, if that helps anyone
Very nice song ! Also, very easy to learn.
I LOVE THIS SON T IS TOTS AWSOME UKWIM
I love this song!
