Short, straightforward song off of the last EP in The Bastard series. Picking pattern is constant throughout
the song and can be played with three or four fingers. I use three, i.e. my pointer and middle finger for
strings G+G and B, and my thumb for the notes on E, A, and D. The exact notes in the chorus are a little hard
to hear due to the other instrumentation, but I tried my best to make it sound okay. Instead, you could also
strum the chords to give the chorus a fuller sound.
I've included the lyrics with chords at the bottom for an easier play-through.

Song structure:
Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4 riff
Csus4Csus4 C majorC Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4 C majorC G+G
Back when I used to wander, I was always out looking for signs
Csus4Csus4 C majorC G+G Gsus4Gsus4 G5G5
But they were never there, so I'd pull 'em from the air
Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4 riff
We all believed in something, but like you I can't say why
Csus4Csus4 C majorC Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
It's just a whisper in our ear, or a bottle for our fears
A minorAm FF C majorC
Hold me to the light, let me shine
G+G A minorAm FF C majorC
Come hold me against the floor, and say it's alright
G+G A minorAm E minorEm FF G+G Gsus4Gsus4 G5G5
Come hold me 'neath the water's skin, till I'm new again
Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4 C majorC G+G
I said what I was thinking, now you can't see what's good till it's gone
Csus4Csus4 C majorC G+G Gsus4Gsus4 G5G5
Then there's something to be said, for a place to lay your head
Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4 riff
You told me I was simple, and you envied me that piece of mind
Csus4Csus4 C majorC Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
And I listened to the creek, and it did much more for me
A minorAm FF C majorC
I'll hold you to the light, let you shine
G+G A minorAm FF C majorC
I'll hold you against the floor, and say it's alright
G+G A minorAm E minorEm FF G+G
'cause down beneath the water's skin, where we will swim
A minorAm E minorEm FF
There's diamonds on the surface then, and they'll come clean us
G+G Gsus4Gsus4 G5G5
(We'll) both live again
Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4 riff
These days I barely wander, and I don't need no more of them signs
Csus4Csus4 C majorC G+G (strum)
I just breathe in all that air, and be happy that it's there
