Attempt to capture chords from the YouTube video Passenger posted on 10 May 2020:
For the most part, he strums straight eighth notes through the whole song just varying the accents.
The chords indicated with asterisks are single strums. The notes in parentheses are individual notes to walk
between chords.
For the Am7 in the intro, he plays x02213
[Intro]
[G] [Dsus4] [Cadd9] x2
[Em7] [Bm] [C] [Am7] [D7sus4] [D]
[Verse 1]
[G] [D] [Cadd9]
Well, is life just a walk up a steep hill?
[G] [D] [C]
You get to the top and then it's all downhill
[Em] [Bm] [C]
You're spinning 'round like the arms of a windmill
[Am] [D7] [D7sus2] [D7]
And you never slow down
[Verse 2]
[G] [D] [Cadd9]
And is love just a foolish emotion?
[G] [D] [Cadd9]
A Hollywood dream, just a childish notion
[Em] [Bm] [C]
Plenty of fish but I'm miles from the ocean
[Am] [D7] [D7sus2] [D7]
For I'm scared that I'll drown
[Chorus 1]
[Am] [D7]
I always thought that I would see it coming
[G] [C] [C/B]
Like a train rolling down the line
[Am] [D7]
I never dreamed that I would end up running
[G] [G7]
Away from myself and out of time
[Am] [D7] [D7sus2] [D] [Em] ([F#]) [G] [Gsus4] [G]
Hey, hey, hey, I feel it slipping away
[Am] [D7] [G]
Year on year, day by day
[Instrumental]
[G] [Dsus4] [Cadd9] x2
[Verse 3]
[G]* [Dsus4]* [Cadd9]*
And how do you know when it's really crunch time?
[G]* [Dsus4]* [Cadd9]*
You could choke on a fortune cookie one unfortunate lunchtime
[Em] [Bm] [C]
And I fear death could be the final punchline
[Am] [D7] [D7sus2] [D]
Of this comedy show
[Am] [D7] [D7sus2] [D]
So make 'em laugh before you go
[Chorus 2]
[Am] [D7]
I always thought that I would feel it coming
[G] [C] [C/B]
Like a storm in a summer sky
[Am] [D7]
I thought I'd hear the marching band drumming
[G] [G7]
Thought I'd see the fireworks reflect in her eyes
[Am] [D7] [D7sus2] [D] [Em] ([F#]) [G] [Gsus4] [G]
Hey, hey, hey, I feel it slipping away
[Am] [D7] [G] [Gsus4] [G]
Year on year, day by day
[Bridge]
[Am] [D7]
Well, life can drag you under
[B7] [Em] [Em7] [Em]
And it can feel so frightening
[Am] [D7]
Love can steal your thunder
[B7] [Em] [Em7] [Em]
Or strike you down with lightning
[Am]* [D7]*
And at the end of it you'll say
[Chorus 3]
[Am] [D7]
I always thought that I'd see it land
[G] [Em]
And the hairs on the back of my neck would stand
[Am] [D7]
But there's no fireworks or marching band
[G] [G7]
Just a letter from the queen if you live longer than planned, oh
[Am] [D7] [D7sus2] [D] [Em] ([F#]) [G] [Gsus4] [G]
Hey, hey, hey, I feel it slipping away
[Am] [D7] [Em] ([F#]) [G] [Gsus4] [G]
Year on year, day by day
[Am] [D7] [G] [Gsus4] [Gsus4] [G] [Gadd2] [G]
Year on year, day by day
