This is a finger-picking pattern based on the main piano melody. Not 100% accurate but i
think it sounds awesome :) enjoy

Follow the same pattern troughut the song
Bm A
This song sounds dramatic but I'm bad at writing words.
Em F#m
If you don't speak English, this probably sounds pretty good.
Bm A
You'd probably think I'm singing bout some pretty serious stuff.
Fm F#m
But in reality, I'm singing 'bout the lack of stuff
Bm A
i'm singing 'bout. This part's intense. And emotional.
Em F#m
As long as you don't understand it.
Bm A
Your foreign grandma would love this song.
Em F#m
Please send it to her, and she'll probably tell her
Bm A
foreign friends about the song her grandson or daughter sent her today.
Em F#m
This song might hit the charts in her country if parts sounded like
Bm A
Coldplayyyyyyy
Em F#m
If the Chorus sounds like Coldplayyyy
Bm A
Then I put some 'La-La-La's in there.
Em F#m
La la la la la, la la la la la la la (Coldplay)
Bm A
Hopefully your foreign grandma listens to this song everyday.
Em F#m
And if she asks you to translate the lyrics, here's what you say:
Bm A
"A perfect translation does not exist.
Em F#m
Well, at least, not in your language.
Bm A
But if you must know, well, picture this:
Em F#m
Fifty billion rainbows, and the sun is setting, and the
Bm A
moon is setting, also, and you're there in a gazebo.
Em F#m
And then God descends from heaven and He gives you a million dollars.
Bm A
Take that feeling, and put it into a song.
Em F#m
I could translate word by word, but that'd take too long.
Bm A
And I've got stuff to do grandma. I don't have time for this.
Em F#m Cm
You've gotta trust me grandma, this freakin' song is brilliant."
