_ _ _ [E] _ Hi, welcome to Sweden.
_ We're in the region of Dalarna.
[A] It's where I'm from.
_ _ And it's _ spring [F#m] or summer.
I don't care.
It's light.
[D] It's warm.
_ It's back.
_ _ And we're still [E] around.
I can't even try to explain how much this means to [F#m] me.
And I think I can speak for a lot of other Swedes. _ _ _ _ _
_ At this time of year, _ [C#] _
it feels amazing.
_ The river is flooded.
_ The mosquitoes [E] love that.
They're back.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ All of a sudden, it's light again and we go a little crazy.
[D] We want to climb trees and make babies and _ [Bm] _ not wear [E] clothes.
_ So some of us catch a [A] cold. _ _
I didn't this year. _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] This song, Forever, is a very long time.
I started [Bm] recording that in Brooklyn, [E] in my apartment. _ _ _
I was [A] banging really hard _ on an old 12-string [F#m] acoustic, an Epiphone from the 60s.
_ _ _ But then I had [D] to fly here to help out with some family stuff. _ _
So I [E] had CJ Carmeri arrange the horns and record them in his apartment and [A] send them to me.
And I told him, this song needs to [F#m] sound like the national anthem of some wasteland. _
[D] _ _ _ _ Where people just _ figure [C#] out they're still [E] around. _
And find all this energy and [A] find some instruments _ and play them a little too hard. _ _
_ [F#m] _ Just because they can. _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ So he sent me the tracks here.
_ _ [F#] I banged away on the piano.
_ _ I howled the vocals.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ And here it is.
[F#m] _ _ At least a studio recording.
I'm going to try to play a little softer [D] now. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Thank you so much [E] for watching.
I wish you could be right here.
_ Help me out with mosquitoes.
[A] They're not here all the time.
_ _ _ Just once [F#m] in a while. _
Like right now.
A lot. _ _
_ [D] _ The guitar tuning is FAC-FAF.
_ _ [E] _ _ Piano tuning is just piano.

_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ [A] I'm feeling up one, _ [E] _
_ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ ending up too fine.
I'm just [B] [Bm] some _ [A] blind [E] believer [A] _ you're _ spelling [F#m] out.
[A] I'm not the [D] one, _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ I'm just a little _ _ [E] unprepared.
_ The end is [A] just a speed line.
_ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ But then empty out to find.
_ _ I'm [D] suddenly _ open _ [A] to [E] the land.
_ _ _ [A] And [F#m] reckless it can grow. _ _ _
So bring me [D] some _ [F#m] reckless _ [A]
times _ again. _ _ _ _
_ To where I can speak a vengeance of [B] some _ loss [E] forever.
_ [A] _ Of _ _ [F#m] lonesome fears.
Just [A] a feeling of [D] one. _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] Just to end up feeling [B] like some _ blind [E] believer.
_ [A] _ _
You're calling [F#m] _ out.
I'm not [D] the one.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [Bm] _
I was a little _
[E] _ unprepared.
But time is [A] just a speed line. _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] What if _ nature's just numbers?
_ [D] You and I _ repetition.
_ _ [A] Are we free or just brought out [B] again? _ _
[E] _ _ _ [F#m] I will get through these days.
Give me [D] the spring and some summer.
_ _ _ [A] Then will you still think of [E]
me?
_ _ _ That's [A] me in your sight.
_ _ I go through [D] the _ _ motions [A] of some _ [E] _ _ light.
_ [A] _
While [F#m] yes I know.
_ _ I carry [D] my _ body [A] and sing some _ lies. _ _ _
_ So I can be the ghost of some now lost _ forever.
_ Of _ _ [F#m] lonesome fears.
[A] Feeling [D] of one. _ _
[E] _ _ _ [A] _ [F#m] _ Ending up too fine with just [B] some _ wild [E] _ beginners.
[A] Just _ trying [F#m] out.
[A] Am I the [D] one?
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
I guess for some things [A] we've [E]
prepared.
But the rest has just [A] _
begun. _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
What if _ _ nature's just _ numbers?
You [D] and I _ repetition.
_ [F#m] Are we free or just brought out [A] again?
_ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] I will get through these days.
Give [D] me the spring and some summer.
_ _ [A] Then will [E] I still [A] think _ _ _ of you _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ all [Bm] the time? _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Okay, I'm going to try to stop moaning in my coming songs.
_ _ It's just that it's pretty handy sometimes.
You don't [F#m] have to be reasonable in a song.
_ So I can take a shitty feeling and illuminate it and _ _ _ observe it.
_ And see _ that dwelling is ridiculous. _
_ _ And I can easier walk away from it.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Which is good because _ dwelling in real life can just become unbearable if we do that.
So with a song you can always _ turn it off. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But let's not [D] dwell.
Because summer is here.
_ _ _ Let's have some fun.
[A] _
_ _ Thank you for watching.
Love you. _
