View chords used in this chart
verse 1
D Bm
We make patterns out of stars and we whisper little prayers
G A
To be somewhere that we're not and if we're good it will take us there
D Bm
But then the light comes through the dark and our questions fall apart
G A
It's just the beating of our hearts and the still of the midnight air
Pre-Chorus
D Bm G
And I get so overwhelmed till it's hard to tell
A
What I'm thinking
[Refrão] D
We get down down down, we feel sorry for ourselves
Bm
We get down down down, we all need somebody's help
D
Let's get loud loud loud, till there's love and nothing else
G A D
'Cause the more that you give the more that comes back around
verse 2
D Bm
So we hide away our hurts and put bandaids on our fears
G A
And we lie to all our friends: move along there's no problems here
D Bm
But then the orchestra will start, and the violins appear
G A
And a simple little melody has us fighting tears
Pre-Chorus
D Bm G
And I get so overwhelmed till it's hard to tell
A
What I'm thinking
[Refrão] D
We get down down down, we feel sorry for ourselves
Bm
We get down down down, we all need somebody's help
D
Let's get loud loud loud, till there's love and nothing else
G A D
'Cause the more that you give the more that comes back around
Bridge
Bm G
But the hardest part is the way things are
D A
And how quickly fingers will bleed
Bm G
And the grace we need is not in magazines,
D A
It's just space, in between, when we breathe
[Refrão] D
I am down down down, I feel sorry for myself
Bm
And I get down down down, and I need somebody's help
D
Let's get loud loud loud, till there's love and nothing else
G A
'Cause the more that we give, the more that comes back...
D
Down down down, we feel sorry for ourselves
Bm
We're down down down, we all need somebody's help
D
Let's get loud loud loud, till there's love and nothing else
G A D
'Cause the more that you give the more that comes back around
G A Bm
'Cause the more that you give the more that comes back around
G A D
'Cause the more that you give the more that comes back around
