[Verse One] - Begin with Bm: place your fingers on the second frets of the A, D, and G strings. - Make the transition to G by using the open G chord. - Strumming in a steady pattern to mirror the thoughtful words. [Chorus] - D chord: place your fingers on the second fret of the G and E strings and the third fret of the B string. - Em chord: lay fingers on the second frets of the A and D strings. - Prioritize seamless transitions between D, Em, Bm, and A. - Highlight the message by emphasizing the first beat of each measure. [Verse 2] - Use Bm and G with a sustained strumming beat, as in Verse 1. - As the story progresses, pay attention to how the emotions rise. [Bridge] - When playing Bm, make sure your fingers are firmly pressing down for clean sounds. - Strumming lightly on the Em chord can convey the emotional weight of the lyrics. - Make the transition to A with the open A chord shape. Outro: Return to G, Bm, and A. - End on D: gradually conclude the song with the final chord.
