Verse 1
Fsus4 
This is why events unnerve me
Cmaj7 
They find it all, a different story
Fsus4 
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Cmaj7 
Turn again and turn
towards this time
Fsus4 
All she asks is
the strength to hold me
Cmaj7 
Then again the same old story
Fsus4 
World will travel, oh so quickly
Cmaj7 
Travel first and lean

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

F is one of the chords beginners ask about the most. A short walkthrough on how to fret it cleanly and switch in and out of it. Learn the F chord

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
