      FOR SURE!! Anyone mind checking out my music? One minute would mean the world to me :) I make and do everything EVERYTHING completely by myself. I’m ONLY 15 year old, and all the music is created originally by me from scratch. You will be very surprised. It takes so much hard work and it’s hard to get noticed even if it’s good quality. You won’t regret it. I do not have a ton of money, and this is all I can do to show my hard work.

    If anyone is wondering about the chords:
    [Verse 1]
    Fmaj7 - Cmaj7/G - Am7 - (walk up tab) [Low E 3rd fret, A open, A 1st fret, D open, D 2nd fret, D open, A 3rd fret] - Fmaj 7 - Cmaj7/G - Am7 - (walk up tab) - Fmaj7 - Cmaj7/G - Am7 - (walk up tab) - F major bar chord - F minor bar chord (just lift up middle finger)
    [Chorus]
    Cmaj7/G - Am7 - D7 - F major bar chord - F minor bar chord (just lift up middle finger)
    [Verse 2]
    Same as verse 1
    [Chorus]
    Same as first
    [Interlude]
    Fmaj7 - Cmaj7/G - Am7 - (walk up tab) - F major bar chord - Cmaj7/G - Am7 - (walk up tab) - F major bar chord - Cmaj7/G - Am7 (walk up tab) - F major bar chord - F minor bar chord (just lift up middle finger)
    [Chorus]
    Same as all the previous two
    Hope this helps - look up the chord fingering if needed!
    EDIT: It's a very easy song, just a lot of repetition, so it shouldn't take long to master.

    This has been my number one song for 3 years. Still gives me chills and makes me cry sometimes. I love guitar, (I’m garbage at it) and this was the first song I learned that has chords.

    This was my favorite song on the album, next is Blame It On Me, and the reason I love this song is because its chocked full of emotion not only with Posty’s vox but also the instrumental. Its just a beautiful song put together so well.

    Is it just me or do you gain a whole new respect when you learn how the song is actually made
