I’be included the 2 main riffs used throughout the song. The verse is played in a 3/4 feel due to the grouping of 3, but it’s 4/4. The bridge is actually played in 3/4 time. The chorus reverts to 4/4. The chorus is all barre chords on the E string, and all 3 chords are major. If you look at this section as a key change, it’s most likely in the key of D, but the chords are written for a guitar tuned a half step down, so it appears to be in Eb on the guitar. If you’re playing it in a band, you can drop the lower octave in the bridge and just play the thinner 4 strings or use the Open strings as a pedal tone to the moving D strings melody.Was this info helpful?

[Verse 1]
Em                            A7 G
What does friend mean to you?
Em                          A7 G
A word so wrongfully abused
Em                          A7 G
Are you like me, confused?

Shapes and colors shift with mood
Em                             A7 G
Pupils widen, change their hue
Em                           A7 G
Rapid brown avoid clear blue

Flowers watched through wide eyes bloom
Em                             A7 G
A child sings an unclaimed tune
Em                         A7 G
Innocence spins cold cocoon
Em                          A7 G
Grow to see the pain too soon
