Bridge:
G+G     D MajorD
Out in the barren field where we first met
(Continue to hold D MajorD)
Full of decay from a life in the red

Couldn't make it work, couldn't even make rent
    G+G    A augmentedA       B minorBm      D MajorD
All the people I forgot that I knew, that I met
G+G    D/F#D/F#   A7sus4A7sus4  D MajorD

I need to stay, I need to stay

I just want to say
   G+G    D MajorD
Now I finally know
