CAPO 3rd
All chords are relative to the capo on the 3rd fret. Listen out for his signature
hammer-ons and pull-offs and general strumming pattern throughout the track. It's pretty basic
but sounds good playing
against the track though I haven't figured the bridge part out other than to say there's
the C/E, G
and Am in there so any input is welcome.

Em7What if I did not love you?
C/EWhere will that be to me
Em7But I wander through the avenues
C/EUnder a pall of misery
(Verse)
Would I be face down in a gutter
With cheap whiskey on my breath
The lonely life of a writer
Whose words could not pay his debts
(Chorus)
SayingEm please don't, C/Eplease don't pass me bGy D/F#
I am aEmlive, oh caC/En't you see?
That I've beenG blinded completelD/F#y
PleaseEm don't, please C/Edon't pass me by G D/F#
I am aEmlive, oh caC/En't you see?
That I am pleaGding for your mercD/F#y
(Verse)
What if we became strangers?
Would you notice my face in a crowd?
And you could you hear the sorrow in my voice?
Helplessly crying your name out loud
(Verse)
Would I be searching for a savior?
Burned and burning with regret
The lonely life of a writer
With one last desperate request
(Chorus)
Saying please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I've been blinded completely
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
(Bridge)
D/F#I've been on theAm lamb
Being Ghunted, somethiEmng fierce
AmThey say time and tide don't wait fD/F#or no man
But I was jusAmt hoping
C/EThese storm filled skies will clear
(Chorus)
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
Please don't, please don't pass me by
I am alive, oh can't you see?
That I am pleading for your mercy
