When I'm With You chords by Ben Rector

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tune both E strings down to D (DADGBd)
This is exactly how Ben Rector plays it live, he has personally contacted me and told me how he   plays it.
He plays in high strung tuning (Nashville tuning) where the lowest three strings are replaced with strings one
octave higher, this is not necessary for the song, but know that is why his version may sound slightly different
from what you are playing.
The song can be played in standard EADGBe tuning with the below chords played in their regular form.

Intro:
D4

Verse:
              D
I go a little crazy sometimes, can you believe it?

Yeah, I swear I'm fine, that I'm alright

When I'm barley breathing
                Bm               A
Thought I could find my way back home
          Em
But I get lost alone

Chorus:
|A|A|Bm|Bm|G|G|D|D|A|A|Bm|G|D|D|
                  A                 Bm
But when I'm with you I'm no longer wandering
                  G                  D
And when I'm with you, I swear I can breathe
              A                 Bm         G         D
When I'm with you, I know who I am and who I want to be

D

Verse:
                     D
I'm not trying to be dramatic, no

Most times I'm pretty normal

Oh, but let's be clear and honest here

And do away with anything formal
      Bm            A             Em
I can fake it on my own, but I am lost alone

Chorus:
|A|A|Bm|Bm|G|G|D|D|A|A|Bm|G|D|D|
                  A                 Bm
But when I'm with you I'm no longer wandering
                  G                  D
And when I'm with you, I swear I can breathe
              A                 Bm         G         D
When I'm with you, I know who I am and who I want to be

D

Bridge:
|Em|D|Bm|A|x3 |Em|Em|x3
Em D      Bm   A
     I am wide-eyed
Em D        Bm           A
     With a penchant for running
Em           D             Bm          A             Em
But how many times does it take 'til I find that I'm lost when I'm alone
Em
And that's not where I belong

Chorus: (Use the D and Bm shapes from the Verse for the first Bm and the first 2 Ds, then after the A use the
shapes from the chorus)
                D                      Bm
'cause when I'm with you I'm no longer wandering
              G                 D
When I'm with you I can finally breathe
              A               Bm
When I'm with you, I swear to God
           D
I swear to God I'm who I want to be

|D|D|D|G| repeat until end
