I found a girl my par-ents love

She'll come and stay the night

And I... think I might have it all

And I thank God eve-'ry day

For the girl He sent my way

But I know the things He gives me

He can take a-way

And I hold you ev-'ry night
F#m7 E D
And that's a feeling I wan-na get used to

But there's no man as terrified

As the man who stands to lose you...

These beautiful things that I've gotNotes:
Beginners can play all the open position chords, and you can replace the F#m with F#m7 which is technically a barre chord, but a very easy one... see charts above.
The Fdim7 may look a little scary but it is very easy to play. The xx3434 is charted, but the xx0101 inversion sounds great as well.
6/8 time represents 6 eighth-note beats per bar
After the change in time signature, you can play power chords where distortion occurs - 6 down-strokes per bar.
The Power Chords that come into play over-ride the following:
A → A5
D → D5
E → E5
Lefties:
Great song, great artist!
