C/D

Verse 2
Dm 
When I'm losing control
C 
Will you turn me away
Bb 
Gm 
Or touch me deep inside?
Dm 
And when all this gets old
C 
Will it still feel the same
Bb 
Gm 
There's no way this will die
Dm 
But if we  get much closer
C 
I could lose control
Bb 
And if your heart surrenders
Gm 
Gm11 
You'll need me to hold

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

When a song moves through a lot of chords, the strumming hand has to stay steady through every switch. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and the timing that make changes easier. Smooth out your 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
