Key:
Intro: F Am
Dm Dull light breaks behind the houses
F I don't see what's strange about this
Am Tiny bubbles hang above me
C It's a sign that someone loves me
Dm I can hardly stand upright
F Hit my head upon the light
Am I have faith but don't believe it
C It's not there enough to leave it
Dm F Everything I love is on the table
Dm C Everything I love is out to sea
Dm I have only two emotions
F Careful fear and dead devotion.
Am I can't get the balance right.
C Throw all my marbles in the fire.
Dm I see all the ones I wept for
F All the things I had it in for
Am I won't cry until I hear
C Cause I was not supposed to be here.
Dm F Everything I love is on the table
Dm C Everything I love is out to sea
Bb I'm not alone
Continues after the ad
Dm I'll never be
F Into the bone
Bb I'll never grieve
Dm I'm tired, I'm freezing, I'm done
F When it gets so late I forget everyone
Am I need somewhere to stay
C Don't think anybody I know is awake
Dm Calm down it's alright
F Keep my arms the rest of the night
Am When they ask what do I see
C I say a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me
Dm F Ahh...
Am C Ahhh ahhh..
Bb I'm not alone
Dm I'll never be
F Into the bone
Bb I'll never grieve
Bb And if you want (dead seriously)
Dm To see me cry (don't swallow the cap)
F Play 'Let It Be (pat yourself on the back)
Bb Or 'Nevermind' (dead seriously)
Dm Is it time to leave? Is it time to think about
F What I wanna say to the girls at the door?
Am I need somewhere to be
C But I can't get around the river in front of me
Dm Calm down it's alright
F Lead my arms the rest of the night
Am When they ask what do I see
C I say a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me
Dm F Ahh...
Am C Ahhh ahhh..
Bb I'm not alone (dead seriously)
Dm I'll never be (don't swallow the cap)
F Into the bones (pat yourself on the back)
Bb I'll never grieve (dead seriously)
Bb And if you want (dead seriously)
Dm To see me cry (don't swallow the cap)
F Play 'Let It Be' (pat yourself on the back)
Bb Or 'Nevermind' (dead seriously) Final:
Bb Dm F Bb (2x)
Dm F (4x)
