Strumming

It's easier to play this song 1 full step down so those will be the chords I use but
I'll also list the ones you would use in standard tuning at the bottom.
 
Update: This sounds more than perfect on piano. Don't rate low or complain because
you have to change tuning or play some barre chords.
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
          G                          F
If I died today, I wonder what you'd say
          C                     Am
Would you criticize my life, or smile and wave goodbye?
          G                    F
If I died today, would you be afraid?
             C                                   Am
Would you be thankful for our time, or would you hang your head and cry?
    Em             D               G
Cuz girl I know it could go either way
 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G         F
Baby Baby don't you love me?
C                   Am
All your tears wont change your past
        Em             D              G
They'll only drown the smiles on your face
    G          F                    C          Am
And maybe Baby all that we had, was never ever meant to last
   Em             D                G
So let me go, but don't you let me fade away
 
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
       G                          F
If you close a door, swim for the shore
                       C               Am
Walk straight into the sun and let the healing horses run
    Em              D           G
Cuz it won't do you any good to bleed
  Em              D              G
Another tear over what became of me
 
 
 
[Chorus]
G         F
Baby Baby don't you love me?
C                   Am
All your tears wont change your past
        Em             D              G
They'll only drown the smiles on your face
    G          F                    C          Am
And maybe Baby all that we had, was never ever meant to last
   Em             D                G
So let me go, but don't you let me fade away
 
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Em                            G
When he holds you in his arms, and your laying in my bed
Em                  G
Does he turn you on, the way that I did?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G         F
Baby Baby don't you love me?
C                   Am
All your tears wont change your past
        Em             D              G
They'll only drown the smiles on your face
    G          F                    C          Am
And maybe Baby all that we had, was never ever meant to last
   Em             D                G
So let me go, but don't you let me fade away

rather than put the standard tuning chords at the bottom with no words making it harder to follow why don't you put them in brackets along with the lyrics? just a thought for people less advanced with playing and singing
