The second part of the intro is played like this i think...


E----------------------------


B-6-8-9--6-8-9--6-8-9--6-8-9-


G------9------9------9------9


D----------------------------

The above got screwed up, but basically you just play the first peice of it over and over
BFI18BFI18 Unknown Date
This guys close bit no cigar,


I don't know how to play it,but I do know you use finger picking on a barre chord and the first single noted is used by the fuitarist when playing not by a piano
Emilimo701Emilimo701 Unknown Date
It should be an A.... not an AmSus2. First of all, that chord doesn't even exist. A sustained chord lacks the third (or flattened third). you could have an Asus2 (1 2 5). But that wouldn't even sound right in this song.





I would say the chorus goes: E, C#, A, B7. Whether you want to play the 7th chord or just the plain 5th is at your discretion. But the B7 is a powerful turnaround chors. I would reccomend playing it if you play this song on an acoustic.

Lyrics


i'm not a perfect person.


there are many things i wish i didnt do


but i continue learning.


i never meant to do those things to you.


and so i have to say before i go,


that i just want you to know





i've found a reason for me,


to change who i used to be


a reason to start over new, and the reason is you





i'm sorry that i hurt you,


its something i must live with everyday


and all the pain i put you through,


i wish that i could take it all away


and be the one who catches all your tears,


thats why i need you to hear





i'm not a perfect person,


i never meant to do those things to you


and so i have to say before i go


that i just want you to know





i've found a reason for me,


to change who i used to be


a reason to start over new,


and the reason is you


i've found a reason to show a side of me you didnt know


a reason for all that i do,


and the reason is you
