Intro:
Am-Em-G-D
verse 1:
Am Em
Over on your island, counting your clocks
G D
Moments move to months you're living like this too long
Am Em
Into every evening, people dress up
G D
Celebrating something let's invite everyone
Am
Coming last call you stall and tell me
Em
I will never be the one worth breaking
G D
When everyone's gone come say what you mean, for once
Am
Stumbling home we slowly find sleep
Em
I will wake into the brightest morning
G D
When everyone's gone come say what you mean, for once
[Refrão]
Am Em
If oceans are deep enough to drown in
G D
And lightning may shoot me down
Am Em
We're hoping that we were only children
G D
It's war and I'm bolder now
Am-Em-G-D
verse 2:
Am Em
Pull me towards your corner, holding your court
G D
Sure I've seen you better, surely we've both been worse
Am Em
Promises you earned like the ink on your back
G D
Steps to see it first tell me how do I make it last
Am
Coming last call you stall and tell me
Em
I will never be the one worth breaking
G D
When everyone's gone come say what you mean, for once
Am
Stumbling home we slowly find sleep
Em
I will wake into the brightest morning
G D
When everyone's gone come say what you mean, for once
[Refrão] Am Em
If oceans are deep enough to drown in
G D
And lightning may shoot me down
Am Em
We're hoping that we were only children
G D
It's war and I'm bolder now
Bridge:
Am G
And all of my blessings just let me forget them
D
I need a night to fall apart
Am Em
I slept in my front seat the cold cutting through me
G D
I'm frozen in familiar dawn, woke reset a second start
[Refrão]
Am Em
If oceans are deep enough to drown in
G D
And lightning may shoot me down
Am Em
We're hoping that we were only children
G D
It's war and I'm bolder now
Am-Em-G-D
Am-Em-G-D
