Ryan Sheridan - Here And Now

      Key of E major (C#m) over a modified Andalusian cadence: vi - IV - V - III (or V/vi),
with a key change at the Chorus to C# major.

Uses a 12/8 fast muted triplet rhythm throughout. Triplet strumming is more subdued during chorus.

In Choruses, F5 falls on beat 3.

[Verse 1]
C#m                            C#m                         A          B  G#
    I left the light on in the hall so I could find my way back again,
C#m                                C#m                       A    B  G#
    And looked beyond what I could figure out in my stubborn head,
C#m                        C#m                       A           B  G#
    I keep a picture in my mind all the time, all my life I have
C#m                              C#m                     A            B       G#
    So I don't lose the sense of that for sense of who I am. (Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
