[NOTE: I've tried like crazy to determine if the "Am7" used in this song
is really an "Am", but since the two chords are so similar sounding, I
couldn't be sure. Anyways, I'm pretty sure it's an "Am7" during most of
the song, but an "Am" at the end when Liam's singing "Gonna live forever"
over and over.]
Verse 1
-------
G D
Maybe, I don't really wanna know

Verse 2
-------
G D
Lately, did you ever feel the pain
Am7
in the morning rain
C D
as it soaks it to the bone
Chorus
------

Maybe I just wanna fly

Wanna live I don't wanna die
C
Maybe I just wanna breathe

Maybe I just don't believe

Maybe you're the same as me

We see things they'll never see
