I think that the other version of this song is way too complicated. So here's the same
but way simpler to understand.
Mason plays everything tuned a 1/2 step lower. I have too many x chromosomes so I play
in regular tuning with a capo on the third fret. Do what works for you.
Mason fingerpicks the whole song. But then again, he has a bass and drummer to back him
I tend to strum it out.
CGot so lost that I went to church
GSorry God but you made it worse
CMade me sit Fbehind a fence
CHaunted by tFhe evidence
CI guess you don’t want me to think
GSo instead I’ll dream and drink
CGot too drunk Fto drive home
CIn the cab FI grabbed my phone
CAnd made a call I might regret
GTo a girl that I just met
CLately thingsF are not okay
CI just wanted to heFar somebody say
CIf you need a reason aGs to why you’re here
AmYou don’t need to look farther thaFn me
CIf you need a reason aGs to why you’re here
AmYou don’t need to look farther thaFn me
CLovely, lovely quiet lake
GHow could this be a mistake
CToo dark now tFo see your face
CYour hair is blowing allF over the place
CThe moon is caught in a frozen glass
GI could not let this moment pass
CThe sun is waitinFg far away
CUntil i’ve haFd a chance to say
CAll that’s missing, all that’s lost
GEvery hope at any cost
CEvery dream too gFood to come true
CFloods my heart Fwhen I’m with you
CIf you need a reason aGs to why you’re here
AmYou don’t need to look farther thaFn me
CIf you need a reason aGs to why you’re here
AmYou don’t need to look farther thaFn me
CGot so lost that I went to church
GSorry God but you made it worse
CMade me sit Fbehind a fence
CHaunted by tFhe evidence
CI guess you don’t want me to think
GSo instead I’ll dream and drink
CGot too drunk Fto drive home
CIn the cab FI grabbed my phone
CAnd made a call I might regret
GTo a girl that I just met
CLately thingsF are not okay
CI just wanted to heFar somebody say
CIf you need a reason aGs to why you’re here
AmYou don’t need to look farther thaFn me
