This song was pretty easy!  It can be played alone by just strumming the chords
or you can find a friend and play with you.

This tab is desinated for 2 guitars.  One broken chord and one strum chord.

Repeat these 4 bars for the next part of the verse:

I'm high but I'm grounded, I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby


Strum:

I found keeping the two high notes more interesting to listen to, so try this.

G         (320033)
Dsus4/F#  (200233)
F9add6    (130033)
Em maj7   (022033)
Eb maj7   (xx1033)

The chords have wacky name so I'll just call them by their basic chords.

             G                         D
	I'm broke but I'm happy, I'm sore but I'm kind
             F                        Em  Eb
	I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
             G                          D
	I'm high but I'm grounded, I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
             F                      Em
	I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby
