Bridge 1
Abm7 
And    when I squinted
The world seemed rose-tinted
Bbm7 
Ebm7 
And angels appeared to descend

To     my surprise
With half-closed eyes
Bbm7 
Things looked even better
Than when they were open
Bbm7

Keeps us from the stark

Been waiting for the night to fall
Ebm7 
Now everything is bearable
B7 
And here in the still

is tranquility

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

Minor 7ths sit between minor and major in feel. The course covers the shapes and the songs they show up in most often. Learn minor 7th 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
