Version 1
The notes in parenthesis (in the C and Am picking patterns) are played occasionally, and when you do, don't
play the note played at the same time on the B string. Listen to the recording to find when to play these
notes in parenthesis! The song works well without them too, so this step is optional but a bit more accurate.
C is picked:

[Verse 1]
C
I think I found a fear of mine
F
That you might love for no reason
Am
You know I worry
C
Only luck brought me to you
C
I'm half awake most of the time
F
It's just the timing of the seasons
Am
So you know I worry
C
That you're all I have to lose
[Chorus]
C G Am C F
And I should change this way of thinking
C G Am F
That all my fears are facts of life
G C F
But I could die tomorrow
G C F
You'd be close behind
[Post-Chorus]
Am G C F Am G C G F
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
F C
Close behind
[Verse 2]
C
I live my life in years to come
Am F
To prepare myself for sorrow
Am
So I won't worry
C
When I crumble at your feet
C
It's something sinister to love
Am F
Without regard for dear tomorrow
Am
To search for worry
C
Is to love without deceit
[Chorus]
C G Am C F
And I should change this way of thinking
C G Am F
That all my fears are facts of life
G C F
But I could die tomorrow
G C F
You'd be close behind
[Post-Chorus]
Am G C F Am G C G F
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
F C
Close behind
[Bridge]
C G Am C F C G
Mmm, mmm mmm mmm
Am C F
Mmm, mmm mmm
G C F
mmm-mmm mmmmmm mmm
G C F
mmm-mmm mmmmmm mmm
C
mmm mmm
[Chorus]
C G Am C F
And I should change this way of thinking
C G Am F
That all my fears are facts of life
G C F
But I could die tomorrow
G C F
You'd be close behind
[Outro]
C G Am C F
So I fill my days with thinking
C G Am C F
Though, I'm years from my true time
G C F
I could die tomorrow
G C F
You'd be close behind
C
Close behind
