but really, you're not singing above a G. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ You've sung it in many other songs that high before, so you two guys can really do it on that.

_ and then sing an octave lower, of course.

So that's the idea.
And we finish that song, we'll finish in G.

And we're going to keep it real simple, a piano, some strings, and voices.
Band, just play really soft.
Don't come in really band until the chorus.
And we're only going to do verse 1 and 2, or 1 and 3, whatever it is.
