Verse 2

Don't think about your lover

You're already steady shaking

I might need a sedative

But I hate the taste of medicine

You just need to let her go

These pills shaking in my hand

Just make me feel defeated

Like I'm not able to just let her go away

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
