I used Zach's TikTok video someone shared to YouTube for reference to try to determine
how he plays his guitar part:
https://youtu.be/Gk6ArMiMIcU?si=OSMIu8gHxTu_qrPs
According to Oolimo, the shape I have listed for G#m is actually a G#mb6, but that doesn't translate in
the app so I have just listed it as G#m*.
NOTE: As of the posting of these chords, the app is still not functioning properly and special characters
(like asterisks) will not appear. You will still see them if you print the chords or view them in a
web browser.
NOTE 2: In the TikTok video it looks like he is playing frets 7 and 11 on the low E string for his E5
and G#m chords, respectively; however, it sounds to me like he is either muting that string with his
fingertip or just omitting it in his strums. I listed the open E string for the E5 chord because that
note rings out from the bass.

[Intro]
E5 G#m* Aadd9 E5
[Verse 1]
E5 G#m*
Don't get angry, listen to the sounds
Aadd9 E5
Them good times will find their way back around
E5 G#m*
And I've got the answers, go on and touch my skin
Aadd9 E5
Them better days always come ba-ack again
[Instrumental]
E5 G#m* Aadd9 E5
[Verse 2]
E5 G#m*
This life's a boat boy, it all comes in waves
Aadd9 E5
On the radio, her laughter and sweet mistakes
E5 G#m*
And I wasn't loved well as a younger child
Aadd9 E5
So I'll pray these better, unstable days, they stay awhile
[Chorus 1]
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 E
So don't get hateful, Lord, hot damn
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 E
There's a fire burning in the back-forty I'm still finding out who the hell I am
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 E
And I'm so tired of wasting it away
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 E
Gonna find the time to realize, I'm in deep on better days
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
E5 G#m*
She always told me there’d be times like this
Aadd9 E5
With a blue guitar, a city bar, and a streetlight kiss
E5 G#m*
But I've never known quite what I deserve
Aadd9 E5
You try so hard and wind up gettin’ burned
[Chorus 2]
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 E
So don't get hateful, Lord, hot damn
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 E
There's a fire burning in the back-forty I'm still finding out who the hell I am
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 E
And I'm so tired of wasting it away
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 E
Gonna find the time to realize, I'm in deep on better days
[Instrumental]

[Chorus 3]
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 E
So don't get hateful, Lord, hot damn
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 E
There's a fire burning in the back-forty, and I'm trying to change the man I am
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 E
And I'm so tired of wasting it away
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 E
Gonna find the time to realize, I'm in deep on better days
C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2 E
Gonna find the time to realize, I'm in deep on better days
