VERSE:
D Am G
Remember the time we were both eye to eye
Bm D
And we both knew the reasons why
Em G
Seemed like we faced the world on our own
D Am G
Before we collide can we just take a moment
Bm D
Collecting reflections of this
Em G
And remember the paths that we chose
CHORUS:
Bm
Spring lied to us this year again
C
Can't stand to face the fear again
G D C
You could always laugh about those things
Bm
It's enough to make a man feel sour
C
Burning minutes every day by the hour
G D C
Just to end up gone like everything else

VERSE:
D Am G
Let go of the pain, hold onto the rhythm
Bm D
It's consciously held back in you
Em G
You're drowning a sorrow that's long been at rest
D Am G
The past is a hell, it can creep up inside you
Bm D
So let me remind you of this
Em G
There's a reason your troubles exist
CHORUS:
Bm
Spring lied to us again this year
C
Still I can't stand to face the fear
G D C
Will you always laugh about those things
Bm
It's enough to make a man stay humble
C
Everyday is just a new chance to stumble

Just to end up gone like everything else

VERSE:
D Am G
If ever a time comes around in the wheel
Bm D
To replace where we stand side by side
Em G
We'll be ready and able to fly
D Am
Away from the mire
G Bm D
And the senseless decisions of somebody's wasted desire
Em G
Through the smoke and the wind and the fire
CHORUS:
Bm
Spring lied to us this year again
C
Can't stand to face the fear again

You could always laugh about those things

NOTE:
At this point Billy Strings is basically picking notes
and soloing and not really playing chords.
However to me the simplest way to get through this part
is to alternate between the Em and D chord which works
for me playing along at this part.
Since there are just too many chord changes at this point
and no markers to identify where the changes occur to place
these chords you would have to listen for when those changes
are made.
Another option is to play the Verse and Chorus chords if
playing this song yourself or improvising a solo.
Play this right before entering with the VERSE:

Remember the time we were both eye to eye
And we both knew the reasons why
It seemed like we faced the world on our own
Before we collide can we just take a moment
Collecting reflections of this
And remember the paths that we chose
Spring lied to us this year again
I can't stand to face the fear again
But you could always laugh about those things
It's enough to make a man feel sour
Burning minutes every day by the hour
Just to end up gone like everything else
Let go of the pain and hold onto the rhythm
It's consciously held back in you
You're drowning a sorrow that's long been at rest
The past is a hell, it can creep up inside you
So let me remind you of this
It's the reason your troubles exist
Spring lied to us again this year
And still I can't stand to face the fear
Will you always laugh about those things?
It's enough to make a man stay humble
Every day is just a new chance to stumble
Just to end up gone like everything else
If ever a time comes around in the wheel
To replace where we stand side by side
We'll be ready and able to fly
Away from the mire
And the senseless decisions of somebody's wasted desire
Through the smoke and the wind and the fire
Spring lied to us this year again

Repeat. Doesn't sound like he actually plays the whole Bm, but I like to strum it to better hear
the chord progression through the melody.
