outro

never leaving DbMaj7, EbMaj7 never leaving DbMaj7, EbMaj7 never leaving DbMaj7, EbMaj7 never leaving DbMaj7, EbMaj7 oh oh oh oh DbMaj7, EbMaj7, F note; the D chord used in the bridge during the lyric, ¡§good¡¨ Is actually the right even though it sounds bad. If you listen closely to Ben¡¦s recording of this song on ¡§Ben Live,¡¨ he does play this chord. It¡¦s either him being very jazzy and experimental or plain screwing up ƒº If you want it to sound better, just play dm instead, or I also replace it with a C chord cause it sounds nice ƒº note: the into progression that is repeated throughout the song (DbMaj7, EbMaj7, GbMaj7) be played on the piano as: right hand: DbMaj7: (C4, G4), F4 EbMaj7: (D4, Bb4), Ab4 GbMaj7: (F4, Ab4, Eb5), (F4, Ab4, Db5) Left hand: DbMaj7: Db EbMaj7: Eb GbMaj7: Gb
