Play Riff 2 during the verses

I play the bass note in the F with my thumb and for the F/G, I use my ring finger to play the figure.

Intro:
F (Riff 1)


Verse 1:
F           F/G         F       F/G
Perhaps I'm bound to be restless
       F       F/G         F    F/G
Always yearning never satisfied
    F       F/G        Bb    F  F/G
Perhaps I'm aching for nothing
     F         F/G     F     F/G  F  F/G
That words can ever define


Verse 2:
      F    F/G         F     F/G
Was I happy   in those moments
             F      F/G             F   F/G
Where have I made it   to seem that way
      F    F/G   Bb  F
Was I back there tomorrow
              F      F/G     F   F/G
Could feel as lacking   as today


Chorus:
    Bb                 C
But you in your golden hour
    Bb                   C
And you in your sweetest song
    Bb                   F
And you with your tender offerings
            C   Bb       F
How could I ever  do you wrong?


F (Riff 1)

Verse 3:
          F                  F/G     F  F/G
Blessed unrest that keeps me marchin'
             F             F/G     F  F/G
This foolish hope it can be  found
          F           Bb    F  F/G
Something so true and lasting
         F              F/G    F  F/G
Could it land me on the ground

        F             F/G   F   F/G
Still I like my world boundless
         F            F/G  F  F/G
It never ceases to entice
         F            Bb  F  F/G
It's the hunger in my bones
         F             F/G  F  F/G
It's the new day in my eyes


Chorus:
    Bb                   C
And you in your darkened hour
    Bb              C
And me in my broken song
         Bb                    F
Here you come with your tender offerings
            C   Bb       F
How could I ever  do you wrong?


Interlude:
F (Riff 1)

Chorus:
    Bb                C
And me in my doubting hour
    Bb                   C
And you in your soothing song
    Bb                  C
And you in your calming mercy
    Bb                    C
And you when you can't be strong
         Bb                    F
Here you come with your tender offerings
            C   Bb       F
How could I ever  do you wrong?
            C   Bb       F
How could I ever  do you wrong?
           C   Bb       F
Oh could I ever  do you wrong?
