Three Rounds and a Sound - Blind Pilot - chords and lyrics

This is another song that I heard on TV as part of an advertisement - and thought it sounded pretty good. It's the background music to the current TV ad for Heartland Seniors Finance in New Zealand.
After a bit of sleuthing around, I found out that the song in the ad was sung by Auckland singer - Taine Buchan. Check his channel out on YouTube if you want to see more of his talent.
After a bit more research on the internet I found that 3 Rounds and a Sound was an original from the group, "Blind Pilot". This is the YouTube song I chose when writing the lyrics down from it - so the lyrics below might not be an exact take on the original. I write down what I hear. Then I get my guitar out and try and match the sound using easy chords.
So the original Key is: C#  Bb  Gmaj7  E
Putting the Capo on 1 gave me: C  Am  G  F
But if you want a more Ukulele sound, slap your Capo on 6 using: G  Em  D  C
Here goes...

3 Rounds and a Sound by Blind Pilot

Capo 1

C  Am  G  F

                          C                                    Am
They're playing our song, they're playing our song
              G                                   F                         C
Can you see the lights? Can you hear the hum of our song?
                   Am                        G                                     
I hope they get it right, I hope we dance tonight
                  F               
Before we get it wrong
           C                                    
And the seasons will change us new
                       Am    
But you're the best I've known, and you know me
                       G                      F 
I could not be stuck on you if that weren't true

C  Am  G  F

   C
I was swimming - my eyes were dark
             Am
'Til you woke me and told me that opening
    G                  F
Is just the start - It was
           C
Now I see you 'til kingdom come
                 Am
You're the one I want
                                   G                                    F    ?  ?                          
To see me for all the stupid things I've done
C                                 Am                          
Soil and six feet under, kept just like we were
G                                     F
 Before you knew you'd know me - And you know me
C                                            Am  
Blooming up from the ground - 3 rounds and a sound
G                               F
Like whispering you know me - And you know me

C  Am  G  F

                   C                           Am
So this was our song, this was our song
         G                            F
I still see the lights, I can see them
             C                                               Am  
And the crisscross of what is true won't get to us
                                                          G               F
Coz you know me - I could not give up on you   (wouldn't feel true)
              C                                      Am
And the fog of what is right won't cover us coz you know me
                  G                      F
I could not give up a fight   (wouldn't feel right)
C                                 Am                          
Soil and six feet under, kept just like we were
G                                     F
 Before you knew you'd know me - And you know me
C                                            Am  
Blooming up from the ground - 3 rounds and a sound
G                               F
Like whispering you know me - And you know me
C                                 Am                          
Soil and six feet under, kept just like we were
G                                     F
 Before you knew you'd know me - And you know me
C                                            Am  
Blooming up from the ground - 3 rounds and a sound
G                               F
Like whispering you know me - And you know me

C  Am  G  F
