I wrote this tab before the song came out publicly so the chords/lyrics might be
slightly different than what is out now. For my ear the other chords/tabs listed
do not sound right so I figured I'd share these incase others relate. Hopefully
you like it. Comments can be sent to my email listed above.

When I look into your eyes

Or a beautiful sunrise

And just like them old stars

To be right where you are

Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts we got
Dadd9
Yeah we got a lot at stake
C
And in the end, you’re still my friend at least we didn’t tend
C#m9
For us to work we didn’t break, we didn’t burn
C
We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in
C#m9
I had to learn what I got, and what I’m not
D – Dsus4 - D
And who I am
