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

Structure + Lyrics

Intro

Pre-Verse

Verse

you told me

don't you look at the sun

it burns your eyes out

i disobeyed and seen the man

who's going nowhere

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

convince me this

you don't got to worry

you're on your feet

please help me down

i brainstormed and caught up with my friend

he's doing fine now

Verse

its been uplifting

knowing you are

how sad, its so sad

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

i beg him this

may he mind not worry

to break this chord of paranoia

Bridge

and there's no anecdote for a petty love

i think you found the lighter side

of our friendly hope

i don't mean to poke

we can face obvious nonsense

Interlude

Quiet Interlude

Outro

Intro riff

End on Eb and G octave
