Every Breath You Take
The Police
Tuning: Dropped D DADGBe
I know there are many versions of this song here
already but this version is WAY easier to play
and it should be just about 100% accurate.

Bridge:
E
Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace,
F#
I dream at night I can only see your face,
E
I look around but it's you I can't replace,
F#
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace,
E G#
I keep crying baby, baby please.

Repeat this line and the chords to end the song
Easier, but not very accurate. I feel there's some sadness missing from the arpeggios by simplifying them. They come across as too stark.
