Intro: Cm Gm FF Bb
Bb Cm
when you come to
Gm F
you're kinda floating
Bb Cm
the air is full
Gm F
it's like it's holding you
Bb Cm
isn't it typical?
Gm F
nobody's noticing
Bb Cm
all that they're moving in
Gm F
all that they're breathing
Bb Cm
isn't it beautiful?
Gm F
here in the thick of it?
Bb Cm
to know that when you fall
Gm F
you're just afraid to swim?
Bb Cm
here it is...
Cm Gm FF Bb
Bb Cm
see the arches of paint
Gm F
see the ocean of dust
Bb Cm
see all the colours arranged
Gm F
and hover over us
Bb Cm
like when we were little kids
Gm F
lifted into our beds
Bb Cm
didn't we see it then?
Gm F
before we turned our heads?
Eb
here it is
F
it's invisible
Gm
there are no words for it
Bb Am Dm
i know you feel it though
Eb F
you feel it lifting up, you feel the weights come off
Gm Bb Am Dm
and every cell of blood, they suddenly move as one
Eb F
we were denied so much, all their religion
Gm Bb Am Dm
all for a science that i never understood
Eb F
they took away my trust, maybe i gave it up
Gm Bb Am Dm
just an adolescent shrug, posture as i drop the gloves
Eb F
yeah but that was years ago. i missed so many miracles
Gm Bb Am Dm
living with my eyelids shut, but now i swear that they're opened up
Bb Cm Gm F
now i swear that they're opened up!
Cm (Gm) F (Bb)
