Tune both E strings down to D (DADGBd) This is exactly how Ben Rector plays it live, he has personally contacted me and told me how he plays it. He plays in high strung tuning (Nashville tuning) where the lowest three strings are replaced with strings one octave higher, this is not necessary for the song, but know that is why his version may sound slightly different from what you are playing. The song can be played in standard EADGBe tuning with the below chords played in their regular form. Song in 3/4 time Chords Used in Intro/Verse/Bridge: D4: 050030 D: 000230 Bm: x2443x (Bm barre chord without the high and low D strings) A: 00222x Em: 222000 Chords Used in Chorus: A: 7x0650 Bm: 9x0770 G: 5x0430 D: 0 0 0 11 10 0 Intro: D4 Verse:

I go a little ^Dcrazy sometimes, can you believe it? Yeah, I swear I'm fine, that I'm alright

When I'm barley breathing

Thought I could ^Bmfind my way back ^Ahome But I get ^Emlost alone

Chorus: |A|A|Bm|Bm|G|G|D|D|A|A|Bm|G|D|D|

But when I'm with ^Ayou I'm no longer ^Bmwandering And when I'm with ^Gyou, I swear I can ^Dbreathe When I'm with ^Ayou, I know who I ^Bmam and who ^GI want to ^Dbe

D Verse:

I'm not trying to be ^Ddramatic, no Most times I'm pretty normal

Oh, but let's be clear and honest here And do away with anything formal

I can ^Bmfake it on my ^Aown, but I am ^Emlost alone Chorus: |A|A|Bm|Bm|G|G|D|D|A|A|Bm|G|D|D| But when I'm with ^Ayou I'm no longer ^Bmwandering And when I'm with ^Gyou, I swear I can ^Dbreathe When I'm with ^Ayou, I know who I ^Bmam and who ^GI want to ^Dbe

D Bridge: |Em|D|Bm|A|x3 |Em|Em|x3

^Em ^D I am ^Bmwide-^Aeyed ^Em ^D With a ^Bmpenchant for ^Arunning ^EmBut how many ^Dtimes does it ^Bmtake 'til I ^Afind that I'm ^Emlost when I'm alone ^EmAnd that's not where I belong

Chorus: (Use the D and Bm shapes from the Verse for the first Bm and the first 2 Ds, then after the A use the shapes from the chorus)

'cause when I'm ^Dwith you I'm no longer ^Bmwandering When I'm with ^Gyou I can finally ^Dbreathe When I'm with ^Ayou, I swear to ^BmGod I swear to ^DGod I'm who I want to be

|D|D|D|G| repeat until end
