**Note: Gavin does something interesting at the end of his choruses in this song. Rather
the traditional and expected IV-V-I harmonic resolution, he leaves us on the minor ii
Upon listening to the track, you will notice that neither the F Major chord

out how to get the chords in the right spots over the words, but this is not a
song to pick up so you'll figure it out after a few tries.
Stay
