Chords with lyrics

Oviedo - Blind Pilot

I kind of amalgamated this version by looking at a few other tabs
and figuring some stuff out on my own. I think it's pretty good.

Capo 5 - Chords relative to capo

A* x03130 (I don't know the actual name of the chord)
I like to play the F's as Fmaj7Fmaj7 (x33210) but FF sounds good too

There's a melody that can be added on top of the intro chords, but it's
quite simple and you're all intelligent people, so I'm sure you'll figure it
out!

Intro
C majorC E MajorE Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G C majorC

Verse 1
C majorC                   E MajorE
The thrill here is quicker than you'd think
                 FF
The way some jet-lagged bar kept pouring the wine
              C majorC          G+G
From over their heads then sit back down again
C majorC                E MajorE
Four times is once too much for luck
             FF
That's how many times the clock struck
C majorC              G+G
I wandered home, saying your name

A* C majorC  A*

Verse 2
C majorC                      E MajorE
The arches here were built 'cause they don't fall
                FF
The cat dead drawls to make you feel small
     C majorC        G+G
You might find your small soul
C majorC                E MajorE
Leave the preaching to the president

The crowd cheers, his eyes get wet
  FF
I'm full as it is, I'm full as it is
C majorC        G+G
So don't feed me more

Chorus 1
E MajorE          FF          C majorC
You'll be having my head, big as a birthday
    E MajorE       FF        C majorC   G+G
'Cause I left all my doubts on the airplane
A*                C majorC     G+G
I didn't know, I didn't know I'm not in control
A*              C majorC
I didn't know, I'm not invincible

(Intro chords)

Verse 3
C majorC                    E MajorE
And maybe some things are better left unsaid
                FF            C majorC    G+G
But if you wanted to test that, I will, yeah, I guess, I could've said
C majorC                   E MajorE
But there were nights in bars that I recall
                  FF
Your breath was courage laced with alcohol
      C majorC    G+G
You leaned in, you said,

Chorus 2
E MajorE          FF      C majorC
"Make music with the chatter in here,
E MajorE          FF       C majorC  G+G
And whisper all the notes in my ears."
A*                C majorC     G+G
I didn't know, I didn't know the way of my tongue
A*
I didn't know, I didn't know what I'd done

Break
(The structure sounds a bit odd on its own, but I'm pretty sure it's right)
C majorC (2bars) A*(2bars)    F(2bars) C(2bars)
A*(2bars) C(1bar) F(1bar) A*(2bars) C(2bars)

Verse 4
(C majorC)                  E MajorE
The lights here are softer than you'd think
              FF
The dim lit peacocks in the trees,
                  C majorC      G+G
They're hiding their eyes and their beauty, like me
C majorC             E MajorE
But if my eyes were on my back
              FF
I know what I'd be looking at
            C majorC     G+G
Through every shade of brown and green

Outro
A*               C majorC      G+G
I didn't know, I didn't know it was nothing new
A*                 C majorC
I didn't know, I didn't know it was you
