Lyrics are incorrect:

"Don't worry with all my belongings" should be:
"Don't bother with all my belongings"

Instead of repeating the second to last line:
"Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing"
There should have been this instead of the last line:
"Like the love that let us share our name"

(All chords are correct though) :)
