¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
This is my first tab, I tabbed it from the video of Michael Guy Chislett and William
doing an acoustic version. This video can be found on fbrplus.com. I do not own this
in any way, and these chords are simply my enterpretation of the song. Also, I know I
some of the chord names wrong, sorry about that.
Hope it helps.

Em7 D/F# Cadd9
you ask me to come in-side.

You’re a stranger I know well, and not at all.

Verse 1 Chords
Heart on a hook,
thrown out to the sea,
your basement busy.
Sitting in the dark,
I turn the radio off for a
phone call you’ll likely miss.
Wake me when it’s over.
The last sound of goodbye.
Chorus:
If this is a test, I’m losing my shit
Would it kill you to care as much as I did?
If this is a test, I’m wasting my breath
You’re a stranger I know well, and not at all.

Chorus:
If this is a test, I’m losing my shit
Would it kill you to care, as much as I did
