[Verse 1]
Em D A
I saw the sun dancing
B
Speeding through time
Em D A
It reached inside my head and sang
B Em
Melodies in my mind
D A
I lost my sunglasses
B Em
But they slipped underneath my skin
D A
I quit the wine and drank
B
Something bitter but not so red

[Verse 2]
Em D A
I saw the truth that night
B Em
And I couldn’t believe my eyes
D A
Inside the orphanage
B Em
In that swirling abysmal tide
D A
And when I woke I knew
B
That I'd brought it into the room
Em D A
And though the lights were off
B
I could see it as clear as noon

[Verse]
Em D A G F#m Em
I found my own way back to you
D A
My lungs, my love

My heart, my drug
Em D A B
[Verse 2]
E D A
The lion reached his paw
B Em
Bathed in ornamentals
D A
And I shrugged it off
B Em
He knew I wasn’t ready
D A
Can you hear the call
B Em
A thousand little heartbeats
D A
I could hear them all
B
Hear them all
[Bridge]
Em B
Solo is tabbed to drop tuning
