Chords:
G – 320003
F - 133211
N.C. – No Chord Played
h - Hammer on
p - Pull Off
/ - Slide to/from note
INTRO:
G (ring) F F N.C. x4
(repeat pattern)
The last 2 times I play this chord progression (and the rest of the song), I play G
in order to emphasize percussion, but I left the extra G out so you can play the song how it
played on the organ.
VERSE 1:
G F F N.C.
I’m slowly turning into you
G
But you don’t know this
F F N.C.
To be true
G
You say I’m lying and I never really
F F N.C.
Tell you the truth
G F F N.C.
But your face is getting older
G F F N.C. G F F N.C.
So put your head on my shoulder.
G F F N.C. G F F N.C.
Yeah put your head on my shoulder.
VERSE 2:
G F F N.C.
Yesterday it hit me that I do
G
All the little things
F F N.C.
That you do
G
Except those same little things
F
That you do
F N.C.
Are annoying.
G F F N.C.
They’re annoying as hell in fact
G F F N.C.
It kind of struck a little bell in fact
G F F N.C.
I like to keep my little shell intact.

5th time: And I’m slowly turning in - to you x2
G F F N.C. x2
VERSE 3:
G F F N.C.
Then something else came to mind
G
And that was the mirror
F F N.C.
It made everything clearer
G F F N.C.
That you’re more beautiful
G
Compelling and stronger
F F N.C.
It didn’t take much longer
G F F N.C.
Just for me to realize
G
I love all the little things
F F N.C.
And the beauty that they’re gonna bring
G F F N.C.
I dig your little laugh
G
And I’m loving your quick wit
F F N.C.
I even love it when you’re faking it!
G F F N.C.
And this might sound a little strange
G
For me to say to you
But
F F N.C.
I’m proud to be you.
G F F N.C. x4 (keep playing through guitar solo)
