chords by suuuupaadave
This song was a lot more difficult than I anticipated. A lot of difficult finger picking and very subtle changes. A very beautiful arrangement. I feel confident about this whole transcription but there's one small thing that's bothering me. The Eb7 chord. I can't figure out how JoCo is playing this one as there's a high note that's not possible to hit on the capo relative 8th fret of the 1st string. It still works without that one note, but it's not perfect.

An older version of me

Until you died, till you died

But you're still alive

I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner

It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced

Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able

I hope you feel it...well can you feel it
