Safety Net
View chords used in this chart
Verse: Bb , Cm x3 Abmaj7 (repeat this whole thing)
Counting the seconds down,
Crossing the numbers off,
To when I can hold you again.
Staring at plain white walls,
Missing familiar laughs,
They always made me feel at home.
Chorus: Bb, Cm, Eb, Abmaj7 Bb, Cm, Eb Bb, Cm, Eb, Abmaj7 Cm, Eb, Ebm
I wish I could see a familiar face,
I'm out of my comfort zone,
Surrounded but I feel so alone,
I wish I could fall,
Into your safety net once again,
There's no one to catch me here.
Faces are fading fast,
What did you look like last?
The glass is misted over.
I may have a photograph,
But if I break this branch,
I'm falling.
I wish I could see a familiar face,
I'm out of my comfort zone,
Surrounded but I feel so alone,
I wish I could fall,
Into your safety net once again,
There's no one to catch me...
Bridge: Ebm, Bb, Ab, Bb Ebm, Bb, Ab, Eb
...Here.
I'd quite like your company, quite like your company,
And I'm waiting up here,
Up in this canopy, up in this canopy
I wish I could see a familiar face,
I'm out of my comfort zone,
Surrounded but I feel so alone,
I wish I could fall,
Into your safety net once again...Oooh.
I wish I could see a familiar face,
I'm out of my comfort zone,
Surrounded but I feel so alone,
I wish I could fall,
Into your safety net once again,
There's no one to catch me here.
