The whole song seems to be based on fifth-string root bar chords, but because they go so high at one point 
and because only three strings are necessary, simpler shapes can be made. Standard tuning.

BbDays fCog
Can’t sBbee past the edge of what’s gone but I’m hDmoping I’ll tCry 
And the rBbain shiCnes
And the shoBbwers and the fawns in the field arrDmange in my eyCes
So why fDmight?
With natCure’s call around
You talk about frDmights
In the veCrse of the every song
You tell me what’s wDmrong
But what’s riGght?
 (G)
You’re seeing creation
[Chorus]
That cruCshing never ending change is so Ffull of love
             F                   G  C8            F  
And so you’re waking to face the change in your role
             F                    G  C8              F  
And with each restless shiver you wretch from your soul
YFou’re asking, oGooooh
                      C8      F  
Is that something I’m not anymore?
           F                    G  C8                   F  
A brother to shake these broken chords till they turn gold
Em     F      C
[Verse]
And I tDmried
To surCvive without that gold
And wondering Dmwhy
Our exchCange can never hold
Am I what’s wrDmong?
Well what’s riGght?
 (G)
Stop trusting in demons
[Chorus]
You’re scatCtered ever lonely buddy but so Ffull of love
                 F                    G  C8             F  
Please stop repeating your terror you choose what you see
IFt’s always “wGhat if?” and “why not?”
   C8               F  
Man you gotta just be
    F                G  C8                       F  
Simplify, define your goals and watch them grow
     F                  G  C8             F  
Be your own true self the you that I know

But the rBbain’s fiCne
And the tBbears feel warm and my body is huDmmming alCive

Repeating mantras to find some ground for your soul

Is that something I’m not anymore?

F*: The F chord played at the beginning of each line sounds different from the F played at the end of the 
previous line (or vice versa?). I couldn’t pinpoint the difference, but it’s pretty clear when you listen 
to the music.

[Verse]

Bb C

Days fog

Bb Dm C

Can’t see past the edge of what’s gone but I’m hoping I’ll try

Bb C

And the rain shines

Bb Dm C

And the showers and the fawns in the field arrange in my eyes

So why fight?

With nature’s call around

You talk about frights

In the verse of the every song

You tell me what’s wrong

But what’s right?

Days gone

As I peer past the edge of what’s lost I’m starting to cry

Bb C

But the rain’s fine

Bb Dm C

And the tears feel warm and my body is humming alive

In time

You’ll revive what you thought dead

You’ve stopped your own climb

On the verge of every end

You tell me what’s wrong

But what’s right?
