Pretty basic song. This is not exactly how Andy plays it, but these chords work

You can mess around with some hammer-ons to sort of get the same kind of effect on the album.

:)

So this is how it feels

Lean in to kiss the one that you love and she turns a cheek

Let me tell you how it feels

Watching the walls of the house that you build start crumbling

Yeah you feel

Love is passing by

One more time

But you’re not surprised

Yeah, we’re all amateurs

And heaven knows we’re not perfect

We try to get it right

We keep messing up but we’re learning

When the day is done, oohhh

I wanna know

How do you love someone?

A (strum once)

How do you really love someone?

If you’re further down the road

Put up a sign, everyone will show me which way to go

Yeah maybe you can start a fire

If your love is strong, we could just follow smoke

Yeah you feel

Like you’re broken down

Waiting ‘til the truth comes out

Yeah, we’re all amateurs

And heaven knows we’re not perfect

We try to get it right

We keep messing up but we’re learning

When the day is done, oohhh

I wanna know

How do you love someone?

A (strum once)

How do you really love someone?

Yeah, we keep messing up this love

(You can palm mute this part for effect)

Yeah, we’re all amateurs

And heaven knows we’re not perfect

We try to get it right

We keep messing up but we’re learning

Yeah, we’re all amateurs

And heaven knows we’re not perfect

We try to get it right

We keep messing up but we’re learning

When the day is done, oohhh

I wanna know

How do you love someone?

How do you really love?

Oh, how do you love someone?

How do you really love someone?
