[Verse 1]
Bb Cm F
In the morning when the world came awake
Bb Cm F
Before you knew me I knew your name
Bb Cm F
It was painted across the day as it breaks
Bb Cm F
An impression in your window frame
[Chorus]
Cm
When you saw me out your window
F
Singing from the garden
Cm
Only the beginning
F
I'm only getting started
Cm
I don't mind the digging
F
Baby, I'll work harder
Cm
I've been washing dishes
F
Singing from the bottom
[Verse 2]
Bb Cm F
But one day I'll be running this place
Bb Cm F
And one day I could take you away
Bb Cm F
But I want you to wonder what's my name
Bb Cm F
Because I need you to want me the same
[Chorus]
Cm
When you saw me washing dishes
F
Singing from the bottom
Cm
Only the beginning
F
I'm only getting started
Cm
I don't mind the digging
F
Baby, I'll work harder
Cm
I've been in the ashes
F
Singing from the garden
[Verse 3]
Bb Cm F
Where everything reaches for the sun
Bb Cm F
Still unsure of what we'll become
Bb Cm F
But I need you to reach out to me
Bb Cm F (continue playing F)
See in me more than I could see
[Chorus]
Because I'm afraid that
Cm Eb
One day is only two words we say
Bb F
I don't want to let them get in the way
Cm Eb Bb
Of all the plans that we should be making right now
F
Right now
Cm Eb
Who took the time and where did they take it
Bb
I want to take it back
F
I don't want them to break it
Cm Eb Bb
All these plans that we should be making right now
F
Right now

Tuning: C F Bb Eb G C
Wanted to tab out how he plays it on the album and live tuned down 2 steps, Im 100% sure this is the correct
tuning, even watched him tune to this on a video and even mention the tuning in a interview.
There is a second guitar in there doing the lead in standard.
