progression is catchy and repetitive, ideal for sing-along sessions.
Intro Chords:
- The song starts with a simple chord progression Bb A A, setting up a light,
anticipatory mood:

melodic flow of the vocals.
Chorus:
- The chorus intensifies slightly with a repeating pattern of G, Em, Am, D,
and ends with Bb A:

- Increase the strumming intensity here to match the emotional uplift of the
chorus lyrics. Emphasize each chord change to highlight the lyrical delivery.
Narrative Section:
- Continue using the verse chord pattern (G, Em, Am, D) for the narrative

strumming subdued and reflective.
Additional Chorus Variation:

the end, extending the longing expressed in the lyrics with additional lines
that reflect on the song's themes of persistent yearning:

General Tips:
- Ensure clean transitions between the chords, especially between the shifts
from G to Bb and back to A, which can be challenging due to the difference
in chord shapes.
- Pay attention to the dynamics of the song, starting softer in the verses
and building up through the chorus.
Common Mistakes:
- Not maintaining the rhythm during the transition between different chords
can disrupt the flow of the song. Practice the changes to keep the rhythm
consistent.
- Overstrumming in the narrative section can overshadow the spoken words.
Keep the strumming light to allow the lyrics to stand out.
