These first five are played in quick succession, with the first chord hitting on the E note: G A B D E Then ( Em chords hitting on the G note): B G And finally (the D chord hits on the A and the Cmaj7 hits on the E ): A G F# E. You can play the chords from the chorus ( C Em D Cmaj7 ) under this if you listen to the intro and figure it out. [Verse 1] G D Feet don't fail me now G D Take me to the finish line C Em All my heart, it breaks every step that I take D But I'm hoping that the gates, They'll tell me that you're mine G D Walking through the city streets G D Is it by mistake or design' C Em I feel so alone on a Friday night D Can you make it feel like home, if I tell you you're mine It's like I told you honey [Chorus] C Em D Don't make me sad, don't make me cry Cmaj7 Sometimes love is not enough when the road gets tough C I don't know why Em Keep making me laugh, D Let's go get high Cmaj7 Road's long, we carry on C Try to have fun in the meantime Em Come and take a walk on the wild side D Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain Cmaj7 You like your girls insane C Em Choose your last words D This is the last time C Cause you and I, we were born to die [Verse 2] G D Lost but now I am found G D I can see but once I was blind C Em I was so confused as a little child D Tried to take what I could get D Scared that I couldn't find All the answers, honey [Chorus] C Em D Don't make me sad, don't make me cry Cmaj7 Sometimes love is not enough when the road gets tough C I don't know why Em Keep making me laugh, D Let's go get high Cmaj7 Road's long, we carry on C Try to have fun in the meantime Em Come and take a walk on the wild side D Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain Cmaj7 You like your girls insane C Em Choose your last words D This is the last time C Cause you and I, we were born to die [Bridge] C Em D Cmaj7 We were born to die C Em D We were born to die [Chorus] C Em Come and take a walk on the wild side D Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain Cmaj7 You like your girls insane C Em D Don't make me sad, don't make me cry Cmaj7 Sometimes love is not enough when the road gets tough C I don't know why Em Keep making me laugh, D Let's go get high Cmaj7 Road's long, we carry on C Try to have fun in the meantime Em Come and take a walk on the wild side D Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain Cmaj7 You like your girls insane C Em Choose your last words D This is the last time C Cause you and I, we were born to die C Em We were born to die G C We were born to die [Outro] C Em G C C Em G C C Em D ------------------ version 3 Standard tuning.

I like to mix in some fingerpicking throughout the song to make the guitar parts a little more interesting, and to match the vocal dynamics. Most of them are fairly simple argpeggios straight up and down the chord shape. I use the "all-finger G" and a pause before the Ds, with the bottom two strings sounding at once.

Not a big change but it's sexier so I use it. If you don't identify as female and want to make the song gender-neutral, I find "you make me go insane" fits perfectly as an alternative lyric.
