Verse 1
C#m 
E 
When  I think of all the worries
C#m 
People seem to find
E 
And how they're in a hurry
C#m 
To complicate their minds
E 
By chasing after money
C#m 
And dreams that can't come true
E 
I'm glad that we are different
C#m 
We've better things to do
E 
May others plan their future
C#m 
I'm busy loving you

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

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

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
