Well, I noticed nobody had and interest in this Colin song,
but, i have a lot of love in my heart for it.
First of all I transcribed it for guitar.
Actually solo-acoustic guitar. It's mostly a piano song but...
i did my best. - jaredmorris

Break:
(now i had the hardest time with this part so, stone me.)

Gm            C(sus2)*
Seeing better days

(you could also try to play this over the chords, it's close to what
the bass is doing... I didnt spend to long on this part, but you can
figure it out from there, i hope)

*I know that these 'sus2' arent quite the modes he plays...
*they sound 'okay' though... Also maybe substitute B5 and C5
*Musically it seems like you'd put minor chords there but,
*it just doesnt seem right. I kind of alternate between the
*2's and 5's. Like I said, it's a piano song so I did what
*sounds good on guitar.
