C 
I  don't see you
You're not in every window I look through

G 
And you are not the missing piece

I  won't hear it
Whenever anybody says your name

Even when I'm burstin' into flames
Fsus2 
I don't regret the day I left
G 
I don't believe that I was blessed
Fsus2 
G 
I'm probably lyin' to myself again

I let my ego swallow me

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Sus2 and sus4 swap the third in a chord for a second or fourth. The sus course covers the shapes and how to drop them into a progression. Practice sus chords

Most chord-change problems come from the strumming hand, not the fretting hand. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and timing that make any chord progression easier to play. Practice basic strumming

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
