VERSE
  GM9                           DM7
I worry, I weigh three times my body
  GM9                      DM7
I worry, I throw my fear around
         GM9                DM7
But this morning, there's a calm I can't explain 
GM9                            DM7
 The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain
GM9 DM7 GM9 DM7
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
       GM9                   DM7
By the time I recognize this moment
     GM9                DM7
This moment will be gone
           GM9                    DM7
But I will bend the light, pretend
        GM9                DM7
That it somehow lingered on
Well all I got's
GM9 DM7 GM9 DM7
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

I worry, I weigh three times my body
I worry, I throw my fear around
But this morning, there's a calm I can't explain
The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

By the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light, pretend that it somehow lingered on
Well all I got's

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will pay no mind
When it won't and it won't because it can't
It just can't
It's not supposed to

Was there a second of time that I looked around?
Did I sail through or drop my anchor down
Was anything enough to kiss the ground?
And say I'm here now and she's here now

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

So much wasted in the afternoon
So much sacred in the month of June
How bout you

And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
That it won't and it won't
And it won't
And I will pay no mind
Worried 'bout no rainy weather
And I will waste no time
Remaining in our lives together

\ -Slide Down
F -Fingerpick (This songs verse and intro require you to fingerpick. The easiest way to
do that is to get your finger positions ready, then take you thumb index and middle
fingerand place them on the strings to make the sound pull them together. That is the
best way I can explain it)

I worry, I weigh three times my body
I worry, I throw my fear around
But this morning, there's a calm I can't explain
The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

By the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light, pretend that it somehow lingered on
Well all I got's

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will pay no mind
When it won't and it won't because it can't
It just can't
It's not supposed to

Was there a second of time that I looked around?
Did I sail through or drop my anchor down
Was anything enough to kiss the ground?
And say I'm here now and she's here now

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

So much wasted in the afternoon
So much sacred in the month of June
How bout you

And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
That it won't and it won't
And it won't
And I will pay no mind
Worried 'bout no rainy weather
And I will waste no time
Remaining in our lives together

version 10



Capo:no capo
  
The percussive slap IMO is similar to that of Stop This Train, Heart of Life etc, something which I
think adds a lot of fluidity to this tab.

 
Tuning: Standard
 
 
INTRO/VERSE: snatch the chords with thumb, 1st, 2nd, 3rd fingers, then pluck them with the same fingers. I like
             to add in the odd slap note here and there, but it's really up to you, and as long as you remain in
             time there's not much of a problem
 
(S = slap down and strike string with nail of 1st finger)
