[Intro]
| Em    Em9 Em | Cmaj7   A7  |   (x4)
 
[Verse 1]
Em         Em9 Em Cmaj7         A7    Em         Em9 Em      Cmaj7  A7
  Sometimes     I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
Em      Em9 Em   Cmaj7          A7              Em           Em9      Em        Cmaj7  A7
  And I, I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear take the wheel and steer
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cmaj7               A9                           Cmaj7  A9
   It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
Cmaj7        A9                         Cmaj7           A9
  But lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel
 
[Chorus]
Em    Em9 Em Cmaj7  A7          Em       Em9 Em     Cmaj7         A7
  Whatever tomorrow brings I’ll be there, with open arms and open eyes, yeah
Em    Em9 Em Cmaj7  A7          Em       Em9 Em     Cmaj7  A7
  Whatever tomorrow brings I’ll be there,      I’ll be there
 
[Verse 2]
Em      Em9 Em Cmaj7          A7           Em       Em9 Em     Cmaj7  A7
  So if I    decide to waiver my chance to be one of    the hive
Em    Em9 Em    Cmaj7      A7                Em       Em9 Em  Cmaj7  A7
  Will I choose water over wine, and hold my own and drive? Ohhhhhhh
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cmaj7               A9                           Cmaj7          A9
   It's driven me before, and it seems to be the way, that everyone else gets around
Cmaj7         A9                         Cmaj7                   A9
   But lately I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself, my light is found
 
[Chorus]
Em    Em9 Em Cmaj7  A7          Em       Em9 Em     Cmaj7         A7
  Whatever tomorrow brings I’ll be there, with open arms and open eyes, yeah
Em    Em9 Em Cmaj7  A7          Em       Em9 Em     Cmaj7  A7
  Whatever tomorrow brings I’ll be there,      I’ll be there
 
[Guitar Solo]
| Em    Em9 Em | Cmaj7   A7  |   (x4)
 
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Cmaj7        A9                Cmaj7 A9                       |   A7 |
   Would you choose water over wine? Hold the wheel and drive
 
[Chorus]
Em    Em9 Em Cmaj7  A7          Em       Em9 Em     Cmaj7         A7
  Whatever tomorrow brings I’ll be there, with open arms and open eyes, yeah
Em    Em9 Em Cmaj7  A7          Em       Em9 Em     Cmaj7  A7
  Whatever tomorrow brings I’ll be there,      I’ll be there
 
[Outro]
Em Em9  Em  Cmaj7     A7       Em      Em9 Em    Cmaj7  A7         (Em)
     Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do,    whoa-oh-oh, do-do-do-do-do
Em Em9  Em  Cmaj7     A7       Em      Em9 Em     Cmaj7    A7
     Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do,    who-a-oh-oh-oh-oh

on the part where it goes: "Take the wheel and steer" it should be C A not A C. If there are any other problems, let me know

Oh and on the part: "haunting mass apeal" there should be an A played there. sorry for the problems i had to go to bed so i rushed...

your Eadd9 (022003) is just an Em with an extended G and your Esus4 (022002) is an Emadd9
