A 5 2 3 X 6 7 9 3 2
E 3 X X X 4 5 7 1 0

X - means don't strum that string

The chord names stay different throughout thew song, but the
way they are played varies. See the hints at the bottom if
you want to perfect playing this wonderful song.


Repeat this chord progression throughout every verse:

G Bm C D
Out my window ...
G Bm C D
I'm dyin' inside I know ...
G Bm C Abm7
Though it was right ...
Am7 D
It's something I just ....

Prechorus

D Bm7 Am G
Look at where we're ...
C D
We're tracing our ...

Chorus

G Em C D
Madeline, here we ...
G Em C D
You know it, I know it, ...
G F Em D
You know it could be so much ...
C D
Aoooooooooooooh, here ...

(Now there's this funky bridge part with no words, and I
Don't hear any guitar, so I don't play anything)

Prechorus

Look at where we're going, tell me what can I say
We're tracing our footsteps, we're going the same way, oh my

Repeat Chorus 2x and fade out.

Some hints:
1) when you go to the chorus, it's a lot easier if you play
the C chord as X32010

2) At the beginning of the prechorus, play the D chord
as (10)(10)(11)(12)(12)(10) (I used parenthesis because
there are double digit fret numbers)

3) In the acoustic version, the Bm chord is played as 799777

4) Also in the acoustic version, instead of going into the funky
bridge part the go "here we go around again..." and hold it out.
For those of you wondering, just hold the C chord.

There it is! Hope you enjoy playing my favorite song!!!
