View chords used in this chart
*Hey guys, so I absolutely love Sia and this song but I'm a big Sara Bareilles fan and if you
check out her other covers, she has a way of turning any song into the most heartfelt and sincere
piece of emotion. This is her version from her 2014 Little Black Dress Tour. She plays with a capo
but this version works well. Strumming pattern is DD UU DD UU D*
