Capo: 2
Kris' version of the song is the same as the original, but he puts a
Capo on the 2nd fret.

CWords fall through me, (and) Falways fool me, Cand I can't react F
[Verse 2 (this part is an approximation but is close; piano and vocals kind of
drown out the guitar, so just play some similar arpeggio based on the chords]

And Amgames that Gnever a-Fmount to Gmore than they're Ammeant Will Gplay themselves Fout
[Chorus] (relatively metered strums [8th notes] with up-strums [16th notes]
just before each chord transition)
CTake this sinking Fboat and point it Amhome, we've still got Ftime
CRaise your hopeful Fvoice you have a Amchoice, you'll make it Fnow
[Verse 1]
CFalling slowly, Feyes that know me, Cand I can't go backF
CMoods that take me Fand erase me, Cand I'm painted blackF
[Verse 2]
AmYou have Gsuffered e-Fnough and Gwarred with your-Amself, it's Gtime that you Fwon
[Chorus]
CTake this sinking Fboat and point it Amhome, we've still got Ftime
CRaise your hopeful Fvoice you have a Amchoice, you've made it Fnow
CFalling slowly Fsing your melo-Amdy, I'll sing a-Flong
[Outtro] (lots of strums on F, while humming, then back to the intro once)
I got the original version from Aaron Rubin Esq. III, Jr. on tabondant.
