1st traste
In the intro, the Em7 can also be played as an Em, the Dsus2 played as a D and the Cadd9
can be
played as C. They come as a trio really, so, either Em, D and C or Em7, Dsus2 and
Cadd9.I prefer playing
it with the Em7/Dsus2/Cadd9 combo and think it sounds correct but many might disagree
with me lol.
At the end of the pre-chorus, you can just play D, Dsus4. I just like to make life more
complicated than
necessary for myself lol.

G Cadd9
I stay up all night in a run-down bar somewhere by the sea
G Cadd9
A stroke of my pen, will reveal what's best and worst in me
