Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
He generally seems to be playing the same pattern for the Fmaj7b5 and Cmaj7 chords in the verses:
     Fmaj7b5                              Cmaj7
e|| -------------0---------------0--- || -------------0---------------0--- ||
B|| -----0-------0-------0-------0--- || -----0-------0-------0-------0--- ||
G||.---2-------2-------2-------2-----.||.---0-------0-------0-------0-----.||
D||.-3-------3-------3-------3-------.||.---------------------------------.||
A|| --------------------------------- || -3-------3-------3-------3------- ||
E|| --------------------------------- || --------------------------------- ||
     1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a      1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a


He doesn't actually play the chords in verse 2, but the backing track continues, so I have listed the chords
for that verse too. The pattern changes for the Pre-Chorus and chorus sections, but he restarts the pattern
with the Cmaj7 chords over the oohs at the end of the chorus.

Cmaj7    x32000

Up all night on another red-eye

I wish we'd never learned to fly-y-y-y-y-y
                Fmaj7b5
Maybe we should just try
                    Cmaj7
To tell ourselves a good lie
                 Fmaj7b5              Cmaj7

    F/C             F6/C
I'm in your arms in Central Park
        G                 G6
There's nothing you could do or say
  G7               G       Am
I can't escape the way, I love you


Chorus:
Asus2           C     Cmaj7      F      Fmaj7b5
