Gm                                 Bb
The wind is blowing through the cypress trees,
F                  Cm
Like a whispered prayer.
Gm                     Bb
I love the way the ancient breeze
F                Cm
Messes up your hair.

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
I forget everything I did wrong,
Bb
Ever word that I didn't say,
F
Every feeling I put a lid on,
Cm
Every time you walked away.
Gm
And now my life is a kind of prison,
Bb
Full of bars that can't break through,
F
And the only time I'm living,
D
Is when I'm here with you.

[Chorus]
Gm                      Bb
Under Roman skies I'm free.
F                     Cm
Under Roman skies I shed all my skin.
Gm                 Bb
Under Roman skies I'm me,
F                          D
The person who I could have been.
              Gm Bb
Under Roman skies...
                 F
Under Roman skies...

[Verse 2]
Gm                    Bb
You never feel that rush of blood,
F                   Cm
When he grabs your hand.
Gm                        Bb
You wish he'd make you tremble but,
F             Cm
You know he can't.

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
He was right for you in theory,
Bb
Steady as a pulse.
F                                                 Cm
You thought that you were thinking clearly, and being an adult.
                        Gm                                Bb
...But when you're living life on paper, it's always going to rip,
             F
And now you love it when I make you
D
Bite your lip.

[Chorus]
Gm                      Bb
Under Roman skies I'm free.
F                     Cm
Under Roman skies I shed all my skin.
Gm                 Bb
Under Roman skies I'm me,
F                          D
The person who I could have been.
              Gm Bb
Under Roman skies...
                 F
Under Roman skies...
