Taking My Life Away

this song is relatively easy, but quite moving, especially on just an acoustic
guitar. I did this off of memory, but its pretty close to right...

I like to play my chord a little varied, so I'll just put the chord name, but
you'll see that I like to play open strings, whatever works for you.

Standard Tuning!!

Making life a grind

But these thoughts won't go away
I hope I dream of you
Cause it's taking my life away

I hope I dream of you
Cause it's taking my life away
