Mood : Emo Mood (Romantic Emo)
Key : C Minor + Eb Major
This song is rather straightforward to play, but you need to know the lyrics well. Honestly, when I was learning, I did not know what was being sung, but my ears are able to pick the lyrics as notes, which makes things easier. The chorus can be a little tricky to play because there are background voices joining in between the actual lyrics. You need to train your ears to pick these things up. Similar to the song "Beautiful" by Akon where you have background music in between lyrics. The song is rather short and does not have much black keys, which makes it simple to learn. I know you can do it.

when my days are dark and my nights are cold
you come over so i won't be alone
(Chord C, right hand playing lyrics)
you canceled an engagement with your friends
i cherish every single second that we spend
(Chord Ab, right hand playing lyrics)
and i can count on you to never let me down
(Chord Lower Bb, right hand playing lyrics)
you tell me that you love me without making a sound
(Chord C, right hand playing lyrics)
and i can't help the way i feel when you are around
(Chord Ab, then move to Bb, right hand playing lyrics preparing to go to chorus with any chords progression you like)
cos when the sun comes out on a rainy day
and i thought i'll never love again without my saint
there you are (there you are, you are, you are, you are, you are)
there you are
when the times got hard they said you'll leave
turns out you were the only one that stood by me
there you are (there you are, you are, you are, you are, you are)
there you are
(Right hand plays the lyrics in chords very grand and boldly, left hand dance around chords Eb, G, C, Ab, pick up the background music and play them with your right hand)
it's funny how them other guys checking you
and saying i can't do the things they can do
(Chord C, right hand playing lyrics)
but i got something they can never get
and this will be around even when money ain't
(Chord Ab, right hand playing lyrics)
and i can count on you to never let me down
(Chord Lower Bb, right hand playing lyrics)
you tell me that you love me without making a sound
