Strumming

There is no strumming pattern for this song yet. Create and get +5 IQ
First of all, this song is easy, if you play it my way. Even if you never touched a guitar
before you can play this song.
 
The next thing you need to remember:
Keep your 3rd and 4th fingers the whole song like this:
 
e|--3----|
B|--3----|
G|-------|
D|-------|
A|-------|
E|-------|
 
Keep it that way, and the song will be much easier.
So, the song starts off with the G5 chord (I assume you know how to play that one). Then
goes to the D/F# chord. I know this is a difficult one, but you can make it easier for
yourself by playing it this way:
 
e|--3---- (Little Finger--!)
B|--3---- (Ring Finger----!)
G|--2---- (Middle Finger--!)
D|--0---------------------!)
A|--0---------------------!)
E|--2---- (Index Finger---!)
 
Then, the next chord is Cadd9.
 
e|--3----|
B|--3----|
G|--0----|
D|--2----|
A|--3----|
E|-------|
 
The next thing is the 'riddle'.
You play through the whole song like this:
First the E, than the D, G, B snair.
BUT at the Cadd9 chord it's A, D, G, B.
 
Enough talking and explaining.

[Intro]
G5    D/F#   Cadd9   D/F#
 
[Verse 1]
G5                                      D/F#
If roses are meant to be red            And violets to be blue
Cadd9                                   D/F#
Why isn't my heart                      meant for you
G5                                      D/F#
My hands longing to touch you           but I can barely breath
Cadd9                                   D/F#
Starry eyes that make me melt           Right in front of me
 
[Refrain]
G5                                      D/F#
Lost in this world,                     I even get lost in this song
C                                       D/F#
And when the lights go down             That is where I'll be found
 
[Verse 2]
G5
This music is irresistible
D/F#
Your voice makes my skin crawl
Cadd9
Innocent and pure
D/F#
I guess you heard it all before
G5
Mister inaccessible
D/F#
Will this ever change
Cadd9
One thing that remains the same
D/F#
You're still a picture in a frame
 
[Refrain]
G5
Lost in this world
D/F#
I even get lost in this song
C
And when the lights go down
D/F#
That is where I'll be found
 
[Refrain]
G5
I get lost in this world
D/F#
I get lost in your eyes
C
And when the lights go down
D/F#
That is where I'll be found
 
[Instrumental]
Cadd9   D/F#   Am   D/F#
 
[Refrain]
G5
Lost in this world
D/F#
I get lost in your eyes
C
And when the lights go down
D/F#
Am I the only one
 
 
* There is a small change by the sentence 'And when the lights go down'
It goes like this:
 
e|---------------------------------|
B|--------1---------------0--------|
G|------0---0----------2-----2-----|
D|----2-------------2-----------2--|
A|---------------------------------|
E|--0----------2--0----------------|

Yes, but for very unexperienced players its easyier to use their index finger. Thanks for your comment!

On D/F# I find it easier to use my thumb for the low E.
