Lovely tune from James Blake's second album. Playing it on guitar just about works, strumming softly. The first couple of verses are just a bassline playing D and A notes, it's neither a D major nor a D minor chord really. D* Dm7 e -----1-| B -----1-| G -7---2-| D -7---0-| A -5---0-| E -------| D* And I want you to know I took it with me That when things are thrown away Like they are daily Time passes in the constant state G So if that is how it is Am G I don't wanna be a star F But a stone on the shore Dm7 A door frame in the wall F Em When everything's overgrown
D* But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs And I wouldn't understand but I would try to play along The outro is different, rather than our D*: F Em Dm7 But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs (Em) F Em Dm7 And I wouldn't understand but I would try to play along
