VERSE:
Chords:

Am  x02210    G  320003

Em          Am    D          G
Been up all night staring at you
Em        Am             D
Wondering what's on your mind
Em             Am          D      G
I've been this way with so many before
         Em             Am         D
But this feels like the first time

If you play a E|-3-2-0- for the G it sounds pretty good.

You can clearly hear a reverberating low E string when Radin plays the
G chord throughout the verse. I suggest playing through the G followed
by stepping down the E string.
