***Again, these are the BASIC ROOT NOTES I am noting about the lyrics, just as guidance***
(no guitar)
F She wore a black Gjacket in the winter Asun beatdownBb
I Fguess it was early Aspring and we were in a Bbpark in chinatoCwn
AIf I wear the Ejacket, her Fchest and limbs allBb wrapped around
I would Asoak up all that Elight into my lFining Bb
(guitar enters)
F I leaned in to Gfeel the warmth pouring Aoff her skin Bb
As I Ftried to breath her Aessence like it was Bbprecious oxygen C
And Ashe took off her Ejacket the Fsecond we walked Bbin
And AI soaked up all the Elight from the flourFescence Bb
GWhat was I supposed Ato say Bb to her A
G in the grocery Aaisle, Bbin the air conditioning?
GWhat was i supposed Ato say C to her?
I was Dcoming up eCmpty, Bbcoming up...
I was on my Fphone for half an Ghour, emAbleached in the white lightBb glare
Fsitting at the sporAts bar 'cause the Bbgame was playing thereC
and their Ahometown team was Edown by ten but I Freally didn't careBb
I just Asoaked up all the Elight from the flFatscreens Bb
F oh where coGuld my little Adarling be?Bb
Fmost of the money IA've spent, I've Bbspent it in your comCpany
now I'm Alooking for some Eearliesness(?) and my Fmind won't let me beBb
'til I Asoak up all that Elight into my lFining Bb
GWhat was I supposed Ato say Bb to her A
G in the grocery Aaisle, Bbin the air conditioning?
GWhat was i supposed Ato say C to her?
I was Dcoming up eCmpty, Bbcoming up...
A all day I Adid not know if Bbwe'd break up or AI'd propose
Gwe walked out into the april A glowing
Acome to me Anow, muse, Bbtell me something I Acan't confuse
Gsing me something I'll never lose in A knowing...
GWhat was I supposed Ato say Bb to her A
G in the grocery Aaisle, Bbin the air conditioning?
GWhat was i supposed Ato say C to her?
I was Dcoming up eCmpty
GWhat was I supposed Ato say Bb to her A
G in the grocery Aaisle, Bbin the air conditioning?
GWhat was i supposed Ato say C to her?
I was Dcoming up eCmpty, Bbcoming up...
Alternatively, you can tune your G string down to a F and keep the capo.
Your chords will look roughly like this. It's a lot easier to play with minor downsides.
