      Based off of his acoustic performance at KXT found here: https://youtu.be/IP2oOmGfk9U. He capos at the 4th
fret but I like the 3rd fret too. The chord names might not be spot on but the chord shapes listed look and
sound accurate to me. Nobody can tell you you're not happy! Cheers!
DADGAD tuning.

Chords shapes are relative to the capo:
D - 004200
F - x55400
E - 220000
Asus2 - x02200
G - 550000
F# - 450(2)00 (or just play the (2) open and aim for the base notes)
B - x24400

Embellishments:
-D chord: slide from the 2nd to the 4th fret on the 4th string. I like to hammer on the 2nd fret from the open
on the third string too.
-F chord: hammer on the 5th fret from the open on the 5th string.
-E chord: hammer on the 2nd fret from the open on the 5th string.
Asus2 chord: hammer on the 2nd fret from the open on the 3rd string.
Strum pattern is roughly:
D UDUD UDUD for the verses.


[Verse 1]
         D                             F
Say it's here where our pieces fall in place
    D                            F
Any rain softly kisses us on the face
    D
Any wind means we're running
       F
We can sleep and see 'em coming
         D
Where we drift and call it dreaming
       F
We can weep and call it singing

[Interlude]
D  F  x2, use those embellishments here especially.

[Verse 2]
         D                         F
Where we break when our hearts are strong enough
       D                                  F
We can bow 'cause our music's warmer than blood
         D
Where we see enough to follow
       F
We can hear when we are hollow
         D
Where we keep the light we're given
       F
We can lose and call it living

[Chorus]
          E                      Asus2
Where the sun isn't only sinking fast
      E                            Asus2
Every night knows how long it's supposed to last
          F#                          B
Where the time of our lives is all we have
             G      F# E
And we get a chance to say
          G    F# E
Before we ease away
            G           F#     Asus2
For all the love you've left behind
You can have mine

[Interlude]
D  F  x2

[Verse 3]
         D                             F
Say it's here where our pieces fall in place
       D                                   F
We can fear 'cause the feeling's fine to betray
          D
Where our water isn't hidden
       F
We can burn and be forgiven
          D
Where our hands hurt from healing
       F
We can laugh without a reason

[Chorus]
          E                      Asus2
Where the sun isn't only sinking fast
      E                            Asus2
Every night knows how long it's supposed to last
          F#                          B
Where the time of our lives is all we have
             G      F# E
And we get a chance to say
          G    F# E
Before we ease away
            G           F#     Asus2
For all the love you've left behind
You can have mine

[Interlude]
D  F  x1, end on one last strum of D
