Standard Tuning - No Capo
I checked this against the Bathroom Sessions and made a slight modification to it
for a bit easier play. Enjoy

I have set aside everything I love
I have saved everything else for you
I cannot decide what this doubt's made of
Though I thought over it through and through
Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
In a book in a box high upon a shelf
Cadd9 Dsus4 Gmaj
In a locked and guarded vault
Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
Are the things I keep only for myself
Cadd9 Dsus4 Gmaj
It's your fate but it's not your fault
Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
And for every useless reason I know
Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
There's a reason not to care
Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
If I hide myself wherever I go
Cadd9 Fmaj D Dsus4 D
Am I ever really there?

Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
There is nowhere else I would rather be,
Cadd9 Dsus4 Gmaj
but I can't just be right here
Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
An enigma wrapped in a mystery,
Cadd9 Dsus4 Gmaj
or a fool consumed by fear
Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
And for every useless reason I know
Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
There's a reason not to care
Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
If I hide myself wherever I go
Cadd9 Fmaj D Dsus4 D
Am I ever really there?

I will give you all I could ever give
Cadd9 Dsus4 Gmaj
Though it's less than you will need
Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
Could you just forget, if you can't forgive
Cadd9 Fmaj D Dsus4 D
All the things I cannot concede
Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
And for every useless reason I know
Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
There's a reason not to care
Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
If I hide myself wherever I go
Cadd9 Fmaj D Dsus4 D
Am I ever really there?
