The ahhhh sections on the end of the chorus weren't there in the lyrics I found, but she sings it like that, so I added it. Enjoy :).Was this info helpful?

[Intro]
F                 Am
  Just close your eyes
               Bb
Soon we'll be home
 
Fall asleep to the radio
F                Am
  Strangers pass by
               Bb
Red, green and gold
 
I wonder what they're all waiting for
 
 
[Verse 1]
F
  I was just a kid
                                               Am
Dreams were looking big and then I had to grow up
 
No one ever says
                                     Bb
All the love you give might not be enough
 
Broke my heart in two a couple times
  Bbmaj7            F
Before it hurt too much
 
I was such a fool
                                        A7
Didn't know the rules of playing make believe
                                                  Bb
Didn't know that getting old would come and meet me
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
(Bb)
Wishing on a star
               G7
Waiting on a car
 
To take me away
    Gm            F
And my mom would say
 
 
[Chorus]
(F)              Am
"Just close your eyes
               Bb
Soon we'll be home
                           F
Fall asleep to the radio"
               Am
Strangers pass by
                Bb
Red, green and gold
                                       Dm
I wonder what they're all waiting for
                Am    Bb
Just close your eyes
                Bbm
Just close your eyes
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
F    Am     Bb
  Ahhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh
F    Am     Bb
  Ahhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh
 
 
[Verse 2]
F
  Living day to day
 
Weeks become the same
                Am
Everything's a blur
 
What's it gonna take?
 
What's the final say?
             Bb
Is this all worth it?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
(Bb)
Wishing on a star
              G7
Waiting on a car
            Gm
To take me away
                  F
And my mom would say
 
 
[Chorus]
(F)              Am
"Just close your eyes
               Bb
Soon we'll be home
                           F
Fall asleep to the radio"
               Am
Strangers pass by
                Bb
Red, green and gold
                                       Dm
I wonder what they're all waiting for
                Am    Bb
Just close your eyes
                Bbm
Just close your eyes
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
F    Am     Bb
  Ahhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh
F    Am     Bb
  Ahhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh
 
F    Am     Bb
  Ahhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh
F    Am     Bb     Bbm
  Ahhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh

How does she play this at guitar? Like the fingering

I feel like she probably plays it with mostly barre chords on guitar (I don’t know for sure, just a guess) because the Am - Bb - F is much easier with barre chords. These are the fingerings I use for those chords (low to high): Am: 5 7 7 5 5 5 Bb: 6 8 8 7 6 6 F: 1 3 3 2 1 1 Playing the Dm as a barre chord also works well: Dm: x 5 7 7 6 5
