Intro: Bb7/4, Bb7
Bb7/4 Bb7
Underground I'm waiting
Bb7/4 Bb7 Bb7/4
Just below the crowded avenue
Bb7 Bb7/4 Bb7
Watchin' red lights fading out of view
Oh the air feels heavy
Everything just passes by
And I think that I'm a little shy
Bb7/4 Bb7
Meet me outside above ground
Bb7/4 F#maj7
I see you on your way
Ab D#m Bb7/4 Bb7
I'll be with you someday, someday
Drawing lines above my head
But the fan keeps spinning over me
Just my thoughts to keep me company
Now I know I'm ready
Pour the night into a glass
Can I sip it slow and make it last?
Meet me outside above ground
I see you on your way
I'll be with you someday, someday
Meet me outside above ground
I see you on your way
I'll be with you someday, someday
