First off, there are two guitars in the song and since most of us playing are not 
with someone else, I created my own version that plays well with the song.

Verse 1

Em              Am
been up all night
D              G
staring at you
Em             Am                  D
wondering what's on your mind
Em                 Am
i've been this way
D                   G
with so many before
             Em                      Am       D
but this feels like the first time
