Are you feeling bored, not knowing what to do at home?
During self-quarantine, there are actually so many things that we can do! Finding and living our passion is one of them. As for me, I am exploring my passion to learn guitar again. Fun fact, I have been practicing for the past 2 years but mostly just depends on my mood. Thus, I am still considering my self as a beginner. Who's with me?! 💁
Besides as the form of self-expression, playing guitar can enhance our concentration and memory by understanding guitar chords and listening to the chorus! Here are the top 10 easy guitar chord songs that will be a good company for you! I hope we have the same music taste! 💜
Ps. Don't worry too much, just practice and enjoy!

I'm so glad you made time to see me
Am
How's life, tell me, how's your family
F C G
I haven't seen them in a while
C
You've been good, busier than ever
Am
We small talk, work and the weather
F C G
Your guard is up and I know why

You gave me roses and I left them there to die
[Chorus]

Saying I'm sorry for that night
C G
And I go back to December all the time

Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine

I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
Am G
I go back to December all the time
C Am F x2
[Verse 2]
C
These days I haven't been sleeping
Am
Staying up, playing back myself leaving

When your birthday passed and I didn't call
C
Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times
Am
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
F C G
And realized I loved you in the fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G
And when the cold came, the dark days
C F
When fear crept into my mind
Am
You gave me all your love

F
Saying I'm sorry for that night

I miss your tan skin and your sweet smile
C G
So good to me, so right
Am F C
And how you held me in your arms that September night
G Am
The first time you ever saw me cry
Am
Maybe this is wishful thinking
F
Probably mindless dreaming
C G
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right
Am G F
I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't
Am G F
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
[Chorus]
(no comp)
C Em
But this is me swallowing my pride, standing in front of you
F
Saying I'm sorry for that night
C G
And I go back to December --> comp in
C
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Em F
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine
C G F
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
