Chords

# This was transposed from the guitar version. It is in the same key as the version JoCo sings live. It's not the same key as the version in Portal.
# The amount of times I've repeated each chord isn't hugely accurate. This is more a guide to the chords, you have to listen to the song for the right duration.

    I love this! Im a bit at a loss though where the lyrics go, in the chorus especially. And Im not sure how to work verse 2, is it the same as verse 1? Because there's an indication that you have to strum.
