This Velvet Glove Ukulele Chords

Note:
Chord suggestions for the bridge aim to follow the general pitch increases in the studio
recording, but the last chord in particular is a bit painful. Feel free to substitute
simpler chord fingerings, or just play the A string notes.

[Verse 1]
Dm       C       Bb              Dm     C           Bb

Dm             C           Bb
   It's such a waste to be wasted in the first place
  Dm                C              Bb
I want to taste the taste of being face to face with common grace
Dm        C            Bb
   To meditate on the warmest dream
Dm            C            Bb
   And when I walk alone I listen to our secret theme

Dm                      Am
   Somebody closer can see right through
Dm                           Am
   I'd take a fall and you know that I'd do anything
C              Dm
   I will for you

   Sailin' for the sun, 'cause there is one, knows where I'm from
Dm   C         Bb           Dm    C      Bb
   I care for you, I really do, I really do
