D:  XX0232
Em: XXX453 (same form as basic Dm, just up to frets)
G:  355433
G*: 320033
C:  X32010
D*: 554X30   (I'm not so sure about this one)
[Verse 1]
DI've got a Emdriver's side Darm
I've got EmdistriDbution
I've got Empeople in a Drut
They know I love them but they Emdon't know how Gmuch
It was an Eminteresting Dangle
to have been layin' in when you Emsay we're on the Dsame page
When you say I should be Emsinging your Dpraises
Anxiously waiting for the Emnext note you Gplay me
     D*
It's crazy
[Instrumental]
     G   D(x2)
[Verse 2]
And out of Emall that I've Dreceived
You gave me something that I Emnever knew I Dneeded
I never knew I was EmfrozenD  
Until you Emturned on the heaGt
To reveal Emoceans of Dhonesty
Though not a Emdrop of Dconfidence
So busy Emtreadin' Djust to keep my head above a Emsinking Gconscience
[Bridge]
                                                               C  G*
It was like I stopped having dreams, starting having manifestations
                                                       C  G*  
No longer in a state where I can't wait because I made it
                                             C  G*
I went from having hopes so low to having a surplus
                                                          C  G*
I went from burning my days by to burning daylight with a purpose
                                        C  G*
Turning virtues into habits into consciousness
                                                                       C  G*
And then I said "goodnight" for real for once, and it sounded just like this:
[Outro]
GoodDnightC  
                       G*       
Goodness Gracious, Goodnight.
GoodDnight
GoodCnight
                       G*
Goodness Gracious, Goodnight.
