This song uses multiple chord voicings for the same chords- I've tried to be as detailed as
possible in showing which shape to play where.

Probably pretty obvious when you listen to the song as well, but the Bmaj7 and C#m7 are plucked
with the bass note alternating between B/A# and C#/C respectively.

There is also a passing note F is played between B/F# and Emaj7 in the [Outro Chorus]

Play with recording for exact picking patterns.

[Verse 1]

  Our family r

eunion
              
I'd rather be 

            
anywhere but h

ere
            
It's like a pa


in you should 

ignore
              
But my uncle's

              
 here to open 

     
the door and I

 don't like hi

m

  This family 

reunion
              
I felt so unco

              
mfortable, I l


eft
         
They all decid

ed to stay
              
So it's just m

          
e and my mista

kes


[Chorus]
         
  And I'd like

           
 to know that 

          
you smile when

        
 you're alone
             
And when you n


eed time to yo

urself
         
Remember me, I

#             
 won't be anyo

   
ne else
              
I'm just the b

       
oy you love

I'm just the boy


[Verse 2]

 And my lover,

 my best frien

d
              
When I heard t

              
hat you don't 

              
know why you'r

  
e here
  
I fell face do

wn
              
And became one

          
 with the grou

nd

  And my lover

's best friend
              
No, he doesn't

              
 know what to 


suggest
       
He does everyt

hing for love
              
But when his "

              
everything" ju

         
st isn't enoug

h


[Chorus]
        
He'd like to k

#           
now that you s

#           
mile when you'

   
re alone, (mh 

mh)
            
And when you n


eed time to yo

urself, (mh mh

)
        
Remember me, I

           
 won't be anyo


ne else
              
I'm just the b

       
oy you love

The boy... you love


 


[Outro Chorus]
         
 And if it loo

         
ks like you do

              
n't love me th

 
en
              
That's alright

             
 and I would l

I'm still your

 
 friend
          
No revenge and

      
 no regrets
         
     No regret

        
s, no regrets


         
  And if it lo

         
oks like God m

ight judge me
           
Then I don't e

          
ven wanna stay

        
 another day
              
'Cause if he's

           
 the one, then

        
 who am I?
              
He calls the s


hots
              
And he always 

  
decides
        
What's the poi

#

ife
            
Living life...

              
 when it's all

     
 for him...


[Outro]
        
All for him
