F              Am                
If all this is easy and all that 
   Dm
we need
               A#                
we’ve fallen behind, we’ve fallen 
   F  C
behind
F                   Am           
you can dig all you like and make
       Dm
 a big pile
                 A#                
and sing all the while, and sing 
       F  C
all the while



Dm                C              
But you’re just a boy who 
            F
strummed the right chord
Dm             C       F
and I’m just a boy who gave an ear
Am  A# Am      A#    F        
write, it’s alright, I’m 
       C                     F
shedding my skin instead of these 
tears

Swimming alone and torn in between
          A#                  F   C
life in a dream or life on a string
F       Am                 Dm
living atop our own little hills
                A#                 
perched for the kill, we’re perched
         F  C
 for the kill



Dm                C              
and you’re just a boy who 
            F
strummed the right chord
Dm             C       F
and I’m just a boy who gave an ear
Am  A# Am      A#    F        
write, it’s alright, I’m 
       C                     F
shedding my skin instead of these 
tears

If love was the light first seen

at our birth
                 A#                
and then all the earth, and then 
      F   C
all the earth
F          Am            Dm
how can it fall so far behind
         A#                       
try to remind me, and I’ll try to 
F    C
remind
