E - A/E - E - A/E
E B/E E A
When you're out in front
G#m F#m E (B - A/B)
And your life is unsure
E B/E E A
What have you got goin' for you
(E/G#-G#m) F#m E
After every road you turn
G#m F#m7
It's magic when you tell me,
G#m (E/G# - G#m) F#m7 A/B
And run your fingers through my hair
E B/E E A
I don't need your persuasion,
G#m F#m E - A/E - E - A/E
Cos I'm already there.
E B/E E A
I just read it through
G#m F#m E (B - A/B)
And I said to myself
E B/E E A
That's not really you,
G#m F#m E
I'll keep myself to myself
G#m F#m7
It's magic when you tell me,
(G#m-E/G#) x 2 F#m7 A/B
And write the words I want to see
E B/E E A
When I reach the last line,
G#m F#m E A/E
It's just empty for me.
C#m B A B C#m B A B
I've been learning so long, about the things you do
C#m B A B Bsus4 B7sus4/A x 2
I've been learning so long about you, about you.
