This song is played with a capo at the third fret. The chords are written as if they are played without
capo. Note that in the chorus G and the D notes are continuously played on the high E and B strings, except
the Am chord.
This should result in several sustained chords, but it?s easier to let your pink and ring finger rest on
notes while playing the chords. Listen carefully to the chorus to get an idea of what I?m talking about.
The D/F# is the only ?strange? chord and is actually nothing else but a Dchord with a F# in the bass. You
play this note by using your thumb or with your index (but this requires a totally new fingering of the
D-chord).
D/F# 200232
G D/F#
Lately I?ve been thinking what if we were wrong
Em C G
And the world never meant you and I to belong
D/F#
We?d have wasted so much time
Em C G
Building castles in the sky only to watch them all fall down
Would it be all of our dreams so well suited to you
And I could be half acquired
Would it be worthwhile?
[Chorus]
G D/F#
If I could just understand this
Em C G
I might then try to forgiveness, know that I will
D/F#
Each time I feel
Em C G
You?ll be by, you?ll be by, you?ll be by my side in the end
D
We?ll still be friends
Em C
Ain?t it shocking how my sympathetic world amends
G D Em C
And in time you?ll realise I?m not what I seem inside
Am C D
I?ll go wild, I?ll go wild, I?ll go wild
Lately I?ve been thinking what if you were wrong
And all the things you?ve taken were never meant to be gone
You?d have given a gift from above
So freely having given a gift from above
And would it be all of your dreams
So better suited to someone like me
I?d watch you achieve
Wouldn?t that make me unhappy on the level thinking back
[Chorus]
