You have to play it at a decent speed before it will sound right. If you listen to
the song you should be able to get it. Definitely easiest to use your fingers with this one
instead of a pick.
I'll have the bridge up soon.
Start off with fingers in classic C position
No capo

Verse 2 (same as verse 1)
Don't remind me I'm a chickadee in love with the sky
But that's clearly not a lot to crow about
Cause when the stars silhouette me
I'm scared they'll forget me and flicker out
I taste the honey but I haven't seen the hive
I didn't look I didn't even try
But my heart stops without you
There's just something about you that makes me feel alive
