Here's 'Backwards' by Christina Perri. Such a beautiful song.
The other tab for this song was slightly off, so here's the way I play it, I think
it's more accurate.
Any questions/comments, you can email me at julia-music@live.ca.
Enjoy! :)

Capo: 4th
NOTE: For the intro and verses, play the chords as plucked arpeggios (start with
the bass note, then play up three notes and then play back down). The only
strummed parts are the chorus.

[VERSE 1:]
Take me backwards
Turn me around
I cannot find my balance on the ground
This world is too heavy
For a feather falling quickly
And I wrote you a story
But I'm afraid of how it ends
And all my friends are doing well
And I'm still on the mend
[CHORUS:]
I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town
Cause nobody's going to save
Somebody who won't change
I tried to be brave
[VERSE 2:]
And nothing's coming easy
And all at once I feel a little queasy
Oh but if your love's my remedy
Won't you please come and be with me
It's not like there's much better
Nobody's grass is as green as mine
I can't say that I'm satisfied
Three thousand miles from your kiss goodbye
[CHORUS:]
I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town
[BRIDGE:]
And everybody's afraid
Cause chances come from change
(no chords) C
And everybody's afraid
Cause chances come from breaking
And chances are you're breaking open
[CHORUS:]
I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town
Cause nobody's going to save
Somebody who won't change
It's time to be brave
