All of the tabs I have read are wrong. This is how he plays it on the video clip:
Capo 1
Verse 1
F C
And I saw it coming
Em Am C/G (C major with G as the bass note)
I saw emptiness and tragedy
F C
And I felt like running
Em
So far away
Em
Then knew I had to stay
F C
And I know I’m older
Em Am C/G
I look back and I still feel the pain
F C Em
I know I’ll be stronger and I know I’ll be fine
Em
For the rest of my days
Chorus
C Em Am C/G
I’ve seen better days
F C Em Am C/G
Put my face in my hands
F C Em Am C/G
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
F C Em Am C/G
Hope he sees me through to the end
Verse 2
F C
I notice most things
Em Am C/G
But I didn’t notice the change
F C
It was hot in the morning
Em
Then it turned so cold
Em
Towards the end of the day
F C
There was no conversation
Em Am C/G
I just felt like I was in space
F C
I needed my friends there
Em
I just turned around
Em
You were gone without a trace
Chorus
Bridge
F C
Now I have just started
Em Am C/G
And I wandered on to the end
F C
There’s nothing I have lost
Em (strum)
That was once placed upon my hands
F C
And all of these hard times
Em Am C/G
There fading around the bend
F C
And now that I’m wiser
Em
I cannot wait till I can help my friends
Chorus x 2
F C Em Am C/G F
Seen better Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
C Em Am C/G F
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
C Em Am C/G F
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
C Em Am C/G F
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na

| I think it might have something to do with his father dying?? like in the first bit, "I saw it coming, I saw emptiness and tragedy And I felt like running, so far away Then knew I had to stay" it could mean he knew his dad wass gonna die and he wanted to run away but he had to be there for his family "I notice most things, but I didnt notice the change It was hot in the morning Then it turned so cold towards the end of the day And there's no condensation I just felt like I was in space" this is talking about the day of his fathers passing yeah, just some ideas | |

| nevermind what this song is about - i dont really care if some people think its emo 'ill go slit my wrists now' but think about how great the strings sound backing his voice-not many artists can put that together. | |

| I definitely think this is about losing someone, his Dad or Mum. Good shout 'crackers'. | |

| ew. all his new songs are crap, and this one sounds like hes gone 'hmm ive got nothing to write about so ill just write about a bad day and pretend to be depressed' he needed to take a year off and be normal again to get some inspiration for songs about REAL stuff. | |
