Capo III For the intro/verses she walks up from Em to G, and does a pull-off thing like this: ----0--0--0----------3--3--3--3----3--3--3--3-- ----0--0--0----------0--0--0--0----0--0--0--0-- ----0--0--0----------0--0--0--0----0--0--0--0-- -2--2--2--2-----0----0--0--0--0----0--0--0--0-- -2--2--2--2-----2----3-p2--3-p2----3-p2--3-p2-- -0--0--0--0--2--3----3--3--3--3----3--3--3--3-- There are also places in the verse where she does a similar pull off with Em, toggling between 022200 and 022000. I'll mark it with a *. Em --> G (4x) Em G Em G Well, I never won you over, I just caught you on a good day Em G Em G We were laughing in the back of an old city taxi C D Em* C D Em* Oh, with no mention of my borrowed time Em G Em G Just the glow of the whiskey and the holiday lights Em G Em G Mm-hmmmmm Mm-hmmmmm Em G Em G Well, there's no need to name this, we're just gonna call it a day Em G Em D G So you can run out in the front yard and wave goodbye to the plane, to the plane C G Em* G Oh, but I remember the corner, the bar, and the moment that I came untethered C G Em* C C7 And fell into that scene from my favorite movie, yeah, you know the one Em C G D Em C G D Well, I'll tell you what, I'll save you the trouble of running away, yeah Em C G D Em C Yeah, I'll tell you what, I'll save you the trouble of running away, yeah G D Em I'm already gone out the door Em C G D Em C G D Em C G D B7 And I stole this moment for me, yeah, this moment for me, yeah Em --> G (2X) Well, you're no kind of contrast to all my somber ways We may as well have a picnic, darling, out in the driving, pouring rain And I'll just carry on, pretend that's just how I'm inclined So baby, grab a hold of something steady, steady, cause I'm cutting the line And I remember your shoulder, your breath, and the moment that I came untethered And I danced into that dream, the one where you kissed me and then the camera flashed Well, I'll tell you what, I'll save you the trouble of running away, yeah Yeah, I'll tell you what, I'll save you the trouble of running away, yeah I'm already gone out the door and I stole this moment for me
