This is for one of LIGHTS’ songs that haven’t been released but she played it in
one of her video blogs. I absolutely fell in love with it and I decided that I had
to learn how to play it so I gave it a shot. The song is a pretty simple one, it
has five basic chords + a few odd ones in the outro. It's my first time tabbing
out a song by ear/watching her video so please leave me feedback! Thanks :)

Introduction: (C/G Em) x2
 
Verse 1:
C/G                        Em
Here in the stillness, the quiet place
C/G                    Em
Where I’m lying with a down turned face
Am                       Em*
You come and distract me from what’s coming at me
C/G                       Em
Give me something to look forward to 
C/G                     Em
Truth be told sometimes it’s only you
 
Pre-Chorus 1:
Am
Nothing is at stake here
Em~
When we are awake here
 
Chorus:
F
It’s you who brings the morning
  Am                             Em
And you who takes the sun when I sleep
G                                    F
You’re the only one who stuck around for me                                
                   C/G                             Em
When I was losing, faith in what I thought I would be
G                                 C/G
You’re the only one in the dark I see 
           Am              Em     G
The dark I see~ the dark I see
 
Verse 2:
C/G                       Em
I know I lose my heart so easily 
C/G                     Em
Trying to only show the best of me
Am                         Em*
And I go into hiding, each time I stop trying
    C/G                        Em
Oh, you remind me of the little things
C/G                           Em
‘Til I forget the part that’s troubling
 
Pre-Chorus 2:
Am
And I feel so much better
Em~
When we are together
 
Chorus:
F
It’s you who brings the morning
  Am                             Em
And you who takes the sun when I sleep
G                                    F
You’re the only one who stuck around for me                                
                   C/G                             Em
When I was losing, faith in what I thought I would be
G                                 C/G
You’re the only one in the dark I see 
           Am                Em       G
The dark I see-e, the dark I see~
 
Outro:
           F5 (x33011)*
Cause it’s you who brings the morning
       C/G                       G(x55430)
And you who takes the sun when I sleep
           Em                            C/G
You’re the only one who stuck around for me        
                   Am                              Em
When I was losing, faith in what I thought I would be~
  G                               C/G
You’re the only one in the dark I see~

Great tab, but the chords aren't nearly as hard as you say they are in the song's information section. Really should be dubbed a novice-difficulty song. It's not that hard, unless you wanna get fancy and stuff with performing it, like LIGHTS does in her video blog.
