[Note]
Picking pattern is played in the verses, pre-chorus and outro.
In the chorus mainly play the bass notes on the low D string hit the A string in between.
When playing only chords mainly hit the lower strings for the best sound! :)
The strumming for the chorus should all be played muted, but as there's no way to represent a strum which
is both muted and accented, the heavier strums have been left unmuted to show the contrast.

Gmaj7And I just stood there like a ghEmost
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I’m an Dadd4old soul trapped in a young body
Maybe you don’t Gmaj7really want me there at your Embirthday party
I’ll be Dadd4there in the corner, thinking right over
Gmaj7Every single word of the Emconversation we just had
