[Intro]
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
 
[Verse 1]
         G        A7sus4  Cadd9
And I'd give up forever to touch you
         Em7          Dsus4      Cadd9
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
           G        A7sus4       Cadd9
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
      Em7           Dsus4         Cadd9
And I don't want to go home right now
 
 
[Verse 2]
    G         A7sus4        Cadd9
And all I can taste is this moment
    Em7       Dsus4         Cadd9
And all I can breathe is your life
      G        A7sus4     Cadd9
Cause sooner or later it's over
       Em7           Dsus4         Cadd9
I just don't want to miss you tonight
 
 
[Chorus]
       Em7           Dsus4    Cadd9
And I don't want the world to see me
        Em7               Dsus4        Cadd9
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
     Em7          Dsus4       Cadd9
When everything's made to be broken
       Em7         Dsus4      Cadd9
I just want you to know who I am
 
 
[Interlude]
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
 
 
[Verse 3]
        G               A7sus4            Cadd9
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
       Em7        Dsus4        Cadd9
Or the moment of truth in your lies
     G          A7sus4          Cadd9
When everything feels like the movies
         Em7           Dsus4      Cadd9
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive
 
 
[Chorus]
       Em7           Dsus4    Cadd9
And I don't want the world to see me
        Em7               Dsus4        Cadd9
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
     Em7          Dsus4       Cadd9
When everything's made to be broken
       Em7         Dsus4      Cadd9
I just want you to know who I am
 
G Dsus4   Cadd9
 
 
[Chorus]
       Em7           Dsus4    Cadd9
And I don't want the world to see me
        Em7               Dsus4        Cadd9
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
     Em7          Dsus4       Cadd9
When everything's made to be broken
       Em7         Dsus4      Cadd9
I just want you to know who I am
 
       Em7         Dsus4      Cadd9
I just want you to know who I am
       Em7         Dsus4      Cadd9
I just want you to know who I am
       Em7         Dsus4      Cadd9
I just want you to know who I am
       Em7         Dsus4      Cadd9
I just want you to know who I am

Actually you can keep your finger on B and e the whole time, even when you play Em and D.

I have seen a video tutorial on youtube for this version-its by guitarjamzdotcom and the strum pattern is D-UDU D-UDU D-UDU D-UDU for every line with the second upstroke being the start of a different chord but play the pattern twice for the last chord shape eg: D-UDU-D-UDU D-UDU D-UDU G D Cad9 Cad9
