Intro Em7 C9 G/B D
Em7
One night a few moons ago
C9 G/B
I saw flecks of what could've been lights
D
But it might just have been you
Passing by unbeknownst to me
Em7
Life is emotionally abusive
C9
And time can't stop me quite like you did
G/B
And my flight was awful, thanks for asking
D
I'm unglued thanks to you
Em7
And it's like snow at the beach
Weird but fuckin' beautiful
C9
Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful
G/B
You wanting me, tonight feels impossible
D
But it's comin' down no sound, it's all around
Em7
Like snow on the beach
C9
Like snow on the beach
G/B
Like snow on the beach
D
Like snow, ah-ah-ah
Em7 C9
This scene feels like what I once saw on a screen
G/B
I searched aurora borealis green
D
I've never seen someone lit from within blurring out my periphery
Em7
My smile is like I won a contest
C9
And to hide that would be so dishonest
G/B
And it's fine to fake it 'til you make it
D
'Til you do, 'til it's true
Em7
Now it's like snow at the beach
Weird but fuckin' beautiful
C9
Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful
G/B
You wanting me, tonight feels impossible
D
But it's coming down no sound it's all round
Em7
Like snow on the beach
C9
Like snow on the beach
G/B
Like snow on the beach
D
Like snow, ah-ah-ah
Em7
I can't speak, afraid to jinx it
C9
I don't even dare to wish it
G/B
But your eyes are flying
Saucers from another planet
D
Now I'm all for you like Janet
D
Can this be a real thing, can it?
Em7
Are we falling like snow at the beach
Weird but fuckin' beautiful
C9
Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful
G/B
You wanting me, tonight feels impossible
D
But it's coming down no sound it's all round
Em7
Like snow on the beach
C9
Like snow on the beach
G/B
Like snow on the beach

Like snow
(But it's coming down no sound it's all round)

Like snow on the beach
(It's coming down it's coming down

It's coming down it's coming down)
