This is one of my favored songs by Kid Cudi, so I figured I should try playing it on the guitar. You can use a capo on the first fret if you want it to match the original. I suggest finger-picking this song with some standard picking-pattern. I encourage you to play around with it on your own, but I like to play it like this: F C G Am e|--1-------1--------|--0-------0--------|--3-------3--------|--0-------0--------| B|------1-------1----|------1-------1----|------0-------0----|------1-------1----| G|----2-------2---2--|----0-------0---0--|----0-------0---0--|----2-------2---2--| D|--------3----------|--------2----------|-------------------|--------2----------| A|-------------------|--3----------------|--------2----------|--0----------------| E|--1----------------|-------------------|--3----------------|-------------------| Intro: F-C-G-Am

^FMy heart thump ^Cnot from being nervous Some^Gtimes I'm thinking God made me ^Amspecial here on purpose So ^Fall the while 'til I'm gone ^Cmake my words important so ^GIf I slip away, ^Amif I die today The ^Flast thing you remember won't ^Cbe about some apple bottom ^GJeans with the boots with the ^Amfur. Baby how I ^Fdream of being free since my ^Cbirth Cursed but the ^Gdemons I confronted would dis^Amperse ^FHave you ever ^Cheard of some shit so ^Greal ^Am ^FBeyond from the ^Cheart, from the soul you can ^Gfeel ^Am

Chorus:

^FAnd if I ^Cdie before I ^Gwake, I pray the ^Amlord my soul to ^Ftake But please don't ^Ccry, just know that ^GI have made these ^Amsongs for you ^FAnd if I ^Cdie before I ^Gwake, I pray the ^Amlord my soul to ^Ftake 'Cause I'm ^Cready for a ^Gfuneral ^Am

^FMy mind runs ^CI could never catch it, even ^Gif I got a head start ^AmGod please help me I am ^Ffeeling so alone - wait ^CI don't need to worry 'cuz I ^Gknow the world will feel this ^Amnigga ^FBlessing in disguise but ^CI am not hiding who I ^Gam open your eyes bro ^Amif I ever met you I appr^Feciate the love yo ^Cgirls that I dated It's ^Gok I am not mad yo ^AmUnless you stabbed me ^Fin the heart, no love ho, ^Cthis shit is so ^Gill ^Am ^FPlay it back from the ^Ctop if you recognize ^Greal ^Am

Chorus x2 Outtro: F-C-G-Am x2 I like to end the song it on C instead of Am, but thats your call ;)
