If the slash chord inversions are too tricky, just play them as normal (Am7b5/Eb can change to F7). You want to focus on the descending bass notes in [verse 4] and the [outro] – the three note turnaround is just an ascending F Major triad: F, A, C.Was this info helpful?

[Verse 1]
            F
I'll be the one
                     Bbm/Db
That stays 'till the end
                Dm
And I'll be the one
               Bbm9
That needs you again
                F           Fmaj/E
And I'll be the one that proposes
     Am7b5/Eb  Dm
In a garden of roses
D   Gm              F          C
And truly loves you long after our curtain closes
 
[Refrain]
Dm7
But will you still love me
            Dm7/Db     C          Db
When nobody wants me around
       Dm7
When I turn 81 and forget things
     Dm7/Db        C  C6  C7
Will you still be proud?
 
[Verse 2]
               F
Cause I am the one
                 Bbm/Db
That waited this long
             Dm
And I am the one
                  Bbm9
That might get it wrong
                F
And I'll be the one
           Fmaj/E
That will love you
    Am7b5/Eb  Dm     D   Gm   F   C
The way I'm supposed to, girl
 
[Refrain]
Dm7
But will you still love me
            Dm7/Db     C          Db
When nobody wants me around
       Dm7
When I turn 81 and forget things
     Dm7/Db        C  C6  C7
Will you still be proud?
 
[Verse 3]
         F         Fmaj/E        Am7b5/Eb       Dm     D
Proud of me, of my short list of accomplishments
Gm        F           C
Me and my lack of new news
F          Fmaj/E
Me and my selfishness
  Am7b5/Eb  Dm   D        Gm            F          C
Or me and myself wish you nothing but a happy new version of you
 
[Verse 4]
     Dm  Dm/Db  Dm/C  Dm/B  Bb  Bbsus2/C  Fmaj7
Cause I. . .      I. . .
Dm           Dm/Db        Dm/C            Dm/B           Bb               Bbsus2/C   F
I want you to tell me you find it hard to be yourself so I can say, "It's gonna be alright."
    Dm            Dm/Db       Dm/C              Dm/B        Bb             Bbsus2/C           C7/Bb
And I want you to love me the way you love your family, the way you love to show me what it's like...
C7b9  C   F
...to be happy
