Lovely tune from James Blake's second album. Playing it on guitar
just about works, strumming softly. The first couple of verses
are just a bassline playing D and A notes, it's neither a D major
nor a D minor chord really.
D* Dm7
e -----1-|
B -----1-|
G -7---2-|
D -7---0-|
A -5---0-|
E -------|
D*
And I want you to know
I took it with me
That when things are thrown away
Like they are daily
Time passes in the constant state

G
So if that is how it is
Am G
I don't wanna be a star
F
But a stone on the shore
Dm7
A door frame in the wall
F Em
When everything's overgrown
D*
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn't understand but I would try to play along
The outro is different, rather than our D*:
F Em Dm7
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
(Em) F Em Dm7
And I wouldn't understand but I would try to play along
