[@amorales6117]

For everyone asking for the chords i figured them out Tuning is (low to high) DGCFAD once you tune to that you have to detune the low D string just a little (not enough to hit C# just an out of tune low D) and then retune to that low string These are all bar chords Intro: EMaj Verse: Emaj-G#minor-F#maj Chorus 1: Emaj-C#minor--G#minor-Bmaj Emaj- C#minor-G#minor-F#maj Verse: (same as above) Little pre-chorus: Emaj-C#minor-Bmaj Chorus 2: Emaj-C#minor-G#minor-Bmaj x2 End on: Emaj

Holy crap this was not what I was expecting but omfg, wow, so good. New favorite.

[@pewkaitlinloveXx]

His voice is so soothing. I could seriously listen to him forever.

[@bummy6661]

2022 and still in love with this

[@amitylodevico503]

When you realize this song hits harder when it is targetting your weakness to appreciate your sense of self rather than the standard insecurities endured in relationsips.

[@DianawuvsDiana]

This song helps me fall asleep at night when I need it to. When I think it won't work, it just does the trick every time

[@Alfayeeed]

this video is a kind of free therapy for me. i rewatch it occasionally and it actually helps me. really love the nbhd.

[@Ubovethclouds]

Same. Only reason I revisit this page is to bring me back to those core memories that I’ll never ever have again

[@theokaypepe]

BRUH!!!!! His voice almost made me cry! Hot damn his voice is an angel😍😍😍😍

[@Caarlos90s]

love this version of the song

[@anglegirl8663]

👍

[@Bex_T]

The way he said "hey I'm Jesse , and we're from the neighbourhood " like it was so adorable I screamed a bit

[@nooteilish5022]

4 years later this never fails to bring a tear to my eye

[@haleywatts9547]

The only thing i don't like about this is that lyrics were left out to keep the song to a normal length (i'm assuming), because my favorite line is "sell your soul, not your whole self" but other than that everything is great. His vocals, the guitar, Jesse's hair.

[@millatuti8099]

he actually mentioned in an interview that he forgets the lyrics a lot of the time xD

[@haleywatts9547]

milla tuti well then i guess i'll forgive him (;

[@sanulibuddhipala7320]

He missed out my favourite part where he says "I can't even see if it's all there anymore" in a really high pitch

[@zuzannak9535]

His voice,the lyrics,the guitar,this song..❤❤❤

[@DestinyyDKD7]

This is heaven... so much emotion. Your the best Jesse Rutherford!
