Ricochet
View chords used in this chart
Em
And we were bold
Em
Over the world
C D
We were flying through the satellites
Em
We had ahold
Em
Of the lightning strikes
C D
When we should have been afraid of heights
Em Em
And I was trying just to get you
C D
And now I'm dying to forget you
Em Em
Cause I knew I couldn't catch you
C
So I left the sky
D
And I fell behind
Em
We were one in the same
C
Running like moths to the flame
G
You'd hang on every word I'd say
D
But now they only ricochet
Em
We were falling away
C
You left me with a bittersweet taste
G
But when I send my heart your way
D
It bounces off the walls you made
Em Em
Ricochet
Em
If I was whole
Em
I'd turn right now
C D
I'd forget it and just walk away
Em
Cause I've been told
Em
That I'm dragging it out
C D
But I've been dying just to see your face
Em Em
And all I wanted was to say "goodbye"
C D
Into the fortress and you're stuck behind
Em Em
And in the silence now I realize
C D
That after all I built the wall
Em
We were one in the same
C
Running like moths to the flame
G
You'd hang on every word I'd say
D
But now they only ricochet
Em
We were falling away
C
You left me with a bittersweet taste
G
But when I send my heart your way
D
It bounces off the walls you made
Em C G D
Ricochet
Em
All these broken souls
C
They never make me whole
G D
They don't, they don't know my heart
They don't know my heart
Em
All these broken souls
C
Each one more beautiful
G D
They don't, they don't know my heart
They don't know my heart
Em
I'll send out my soul
C
To worlds more beautiful
G D
But they won't, they won't know my heart
It's the darkest part
Em
We were one in the same
C
Running like moths to the flame
G
You'd hang on every word I'd say
D
But now they only ricochet
Em
We were falling away
C
You left me with a bittersweet taste
G
But when I send my heart your way
D
It bounces off the walls you made
Em
