Decided To Do This Tab Because The Only One That Exists For This Song Isn’t Very Clear. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=My3hC8JxZ-I - Did Most Part Of This Tab Based On This Acoustic Perfomance By Jeremy. Although This Tab I’m Writing Isn’t Exactly A Copy Of The Video, The Chords Are Pretty Accurate, And After Watching Lots Of Live Videos, I Realized That Jeremy Just Plays Different Variations Of The Same Chords Each Time He Plays This Song.Was this info helpful?

Difficulty:	intermediate
Tuning:	E A D G B E
Key:	G
Capo:	no capo

[Intro]
Cadd9 Em*
 
[Verse 1]
  Cadd9                Em*
Changing every little desire
         Cadd9                           Em*
We were counting on forces we could not control
         Cadd9                  Em*
Oh, and all those things you realized
                         Cadd9     Em*
Were nothing more than a memory displaced through
 
*Jeremy Plays this little solo part in the acoustic version strumming like this:
 
E-x    E-x    E-x    E-x    E-x    E-0    E-0    E-0    E-0
A-3    A-3    A-3    A-3    A-3    A-2    A-2    A-2    A-2

B-0    B-0    B-0    B-0    B-0    B-0    B-0    B-0    B-0
e-0    e-7    e-0    e-2    e-0    e-0    e-5    e-0    e-3
 
[Verse 2]
        Cadd9                   Em*
So the story's told beyond our grasp
                  Cadd9                  Em*
We were climbing forever, an infinite task
           Cadd9                        Em*
Shoulders straining with the endless toil
                           Cadd9      Em*
We're nothing more than a feather moving in the wind
 
 
[Chorus]
G* Dadd11/F# C*
             I want to change everything
G* Dadd11/F# C*
             I want to change everything
G* Dadd11/F# C*
             I want to blame everything on
 
*Repeats the solo/strumming part*
 
[Verse 3]
 Cadd9                             Em*
Oh, and all these seeds will grow anyway
                  Cadd9             Em*
Even though the outcome, we cannot say
             Cadd9                   Em*
So, you'll always have your time to shine
              Cadd9           Em*
Even in the winter of your darkest hour
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G* Dadd11/F# C*
             I want to change everything
G* Dadd11/F# C*
             I want to change everything
G* Dadd11/F# C*
             I want to blame everything on
 
*I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think Jeremy plays this part like this on the videos:
 
E-3    E-3    E-3    E-2    E-0
A-X    A-x    A-X    A-0    A-2
D-4 -> D-4 -> D-4 -> D-0 -> D-2
G-4    G-5    G-4    G-2    G-0
B-0    B-0    B-0    B-3    B-0
e-0    e-0    e-5    e-0    e-0     
 
You can also play G - D/F# - Em that sound great
 
[Outro]
 
C Em**
 
C
In the depths of my gloom
Em**
I crawl out for you
C
From the peaks of my joy
Em**
I crawl back into
Dadd11/F# G    Em    Dadd11/F#
Oh, tearing me down every time you smile
 G   Dadd11/F#  D       Cadd9
Every shining time you arrive
Em*
You arrive
Cadd9
You arrive

Thanks for this - it’s the best version I’ve seen. However, it won’t sound right to those who play it in standard EADGBe. For beginners or those who don’t like to change tune...the SDRE trademark is standard D. Simply as DGCFAd. It’s easy to get this perfect...capo your second fret, then tune your guitar to standard with capo clamped until your tuner reads that you’re in perfect standard EADGBE. Finally the fun part, remove capo and clamp it to your headstock like the cool people, then go to town. 🤘🏼

The "In the depths of my gloom" chords aren't C and Em but G* and D. After that it drops to an Em, then the "tearing me down" part is a movable chord where your little finger matches the vocals notes and the index finger moves F-E-D-C on the 5th string.

you're a lifesaver
