[Verse 1]
                G
I'm forty years old
       G
And it looks like the end 
of the rainbow
                F     C
Ain't no pot of gold
                     D
The things that I've done
  C        D
I doubt anyone will remember
          G     D
After I'm gone

[Verse 2]
                G
The places I've been
        G
There's some I'd go back to
    G                      F
And some where I won't go again
                D
And most of the time
    C            D          
I'm feelin' like I'm fadin' 
         G
into the night

[Chorus]
                  C
But when I'm with you
  C
I feel like a dreamer
                               G
That's had all his dreams come true
                      D
Like my skies are all blue
              G    F  G
When I'm with you

[Verse 3]
             G
I got a good job
        G
And I'm thankful to be workin'
                             F     C
When so many good peoplе are not
                  D
Sometimes I can't stand
       C           D
How my back and my hands
                          G        D
Thеy won't work like they used to

[Verse 4]
                G
Somewhere in my mind
          G
I'm still searchin' for something
                          F      C
I know that I'm not gonna find
                D
When I know for sure
     C           D
I've got so much more
                G
Than a man ever needs

How to play When I’m With You: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for When I’m With You by Chris Stapleton on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

When I’m With You by Chris Stapleton keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 4 chords: G, F, C and D.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – C – D – G (V – IV – V – I in G major). In solfa, that is soh – fah – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes D, C, G, A (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
