Quiet
[Intro - 0:05] Gm, F, C, Dm X2
Gm
I'm not yours, and you're not mine
But we can sit and pass the time
F
No fighting wars, no ringing chimes
C
We're just feeling fine
Gm
This is where we're supposed to be
Sitting by a broken tree
F
No tragedy, no poetry
C
Just staring at the sky
[Chorus]:
Gm
I could wait a thousand hours
F
Stay the same in sun and showers
C
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Dm
Just to be quiet
Gm
Tell me when you feel ready
F
I'm the one, there's not too many
C
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Dm
Just to be quiet
Gm F
With you
C Dm
With you
Gm
I like it here beside you dear
You're even more than you appear
F
And in the clouds my head is clear
C
Every time you say hello
Gm
So here's my heart, and here's my mouth
And I can't help if things come out
F
'Cause there are words I want to shout
C
But maybe I'll stay low
[Chorus]:
Gm
I could wait a thousand hours
F
Stay the same in sun and showers
C
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Dm
Just to be quiet
Gm
Tell me when you feel ready
F
I'm the one, there's not too many
C
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Dm
Just to be quiet
[Repeat Chorus]
Gm F
With you
C Dm
With you
Gm F
With you
C Dm
With you
Gm, F, C, Dm (Repeat until end)

hmr = Hammer on
// = Slide up
* When G6 is played the high D is occasionally left out (3rd fret, B string)
If you watched the video it's easy to see that she hammers on the second
finger occasionally. For F and C/G she hammers on the 2nd fret of the G
string. The timing is hard to explain so just practice it.
On this version specifically, she bars the 5th fret but more commonly bars the 4th one.
