Tongue Tied keyboard

Tongue Tied

• Em

Hey guys! This is my first time doing this so be patient and bear with me please :) 
Learned it by ear and also saw a video of him performing this live, so this sounds about 
right. Listen for the strumming pattern.

Not quite sure what he does in the beginning (which is also repeated at the end gahh) 
but I'm pretty sure this is accurate after the drums kick in and he starts strumming faster.

NOTE:
- Em* = Em except upstrummed(?), that is played from the higher E string to the lower E string.
- Cmaj7 and C are pretty much interchangeable in this song.
- Between verses (after "tired of being tongue tied"), he seems to play a steady Em, C, 
Em, C progression, 4 counts each chord.
- V1, V2, and V3 have the exact same chords.

********************************

The fall that breaks your bed,
turns showers of sunlight to hours of hindsight instead.
You sigh, you shake your head,
it did what they asked us, but time drifted past Im afraid.

But Im tired, Im tired, Im tired, Im tired of being tongue tied.

V1
Em        Cmaj7           Em
If we can make it through tonight girl,

         C                Em
I know I wont be alone again.

Em        Cmaj7           Em
If we can make it through this night girl,

         C                Em
I know I wont be alone again.

Am                                                      D           Em*
But Im tired, Im tired, Im tired, Im tired of being tongue tied.

V2
If I dont let you go tonight girl,
I know I wont be alone again.
My lips are dry your grip is tight girl,
but I know I wont sing this song again.
But Im tired, Im tired, Im tired, Im tired of being tongue tied.

V3
I know these wrongs dont make it right girl,
but I know I will look on and admire.
So I will watch you here tonight girl,
brighter and more like the embers of our fire.
But Im tired, Im tired, Im tired, Im tired of being tongue tied.

Am                                  D
So lately Ive been working on this song of mine.

this is the part Im not quite sure about

The fall that breaks your bed,
turns showers of sunlight to hours of hindsight instead.
You sigh, you shake your hair,
it did what they asked us, but time drifted past Im afraid.

Am                                  D
But Im tired, Im tired, Im tired, Im tired of being tongue tied
