This is a pretty good song, originally written by the loved ones. These chords 
might not be 100% (i'm pretty sure he plays some unorthodox variations of these) 
but your girlfriend won't be able to tell.  
[Verse]
I've been Dworking longer Chours watching Gmoney streaming Din
I've been Bmtrusting crooks and Gliars like I Ddon't have any Afriends
I've been Gfinding myself Apraying when I'm Ddeepest Ain the Bmsin
I've been Greinventing Ahappiness agDain
It's been Dpainful resoClution set to Gjubilant appDlause
It's been Bmsoaring highs and Gcrushing lows and Dgrinding in the Ajaw
It's been Gbegging for forAgiveness after Dlaying Adown the Bmlaw
It's been like Gsurgery to Aget through all the Dflaws
[Chorus]
Will this Bmoverture seem Ddull to all my Gfriends?
Will you Bmlove me if I Dleave you here aGgain?
DThere's a faith that could Ctear this whole thing apGart
DSo pour the drinks and we'll Ccause the dancing to Gstart
[Verse]
I've been Dstanding at a Ccrossroads for what Gseems like many Ddays
If I Bmgo will the Ghouse fall down will I Dburn it if I Astay?
Will I be Gfighting like a Acoward or Drunning Alike a Bmbrave?
Will I be Glaughing like a Amadman either Dway?!
[Chorus]
Will this Bmoverture seem Ddull to all my Gfriends?
Will you Bmlove me if I Dleave you here aGgain?
When the Bmspell breaks we'll Dbe back to work, what Gthen?
DThere's a faith that could Ctear this whole thing apGart
DSo pour the drinks and we'll Ccause the dancing to Gstart
DThere are lies that could Ctear this whole thing apGart
And Dthere are songs that will Cbeg to keep your Gheart
DThere are songs that will Cbeg to keep your Gheart
