This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

[Verse 1] (use the plucking pattern above)

G D

How can I find us something

Em D

That two can take

C G

Without stumbling as we

Em D

Walk into out future's wake

Verse 2

G D

I'm like a broken record

Em D

That you can play

C G

Repeating as if it matters

Em A

Everything I wanna say

Chorus

G D/F# Em

I'll be alright

C

As long as it matters

D(hold)

As long as you're with me now

[verse 3] (do chord of verse 1)

Forget that time

It's nothing we touch and see

All this time

Even as it crushes down on me

[verse 4] (do chord of verse 2)

I'm looking around

There's nothing I could want

More than to tell you

There's no more than we've already got

(repeat chorus twice)
