Intro
C#m Cb A G#
[Verse]
C#m Cb A G#
You know I’ve never seen your eyes from there
C#m Cb A G#
It was always so dark and unprepared
C#m Cb A G#
And when the lights went out you left,
C#m Cb A G#
I’d follow suit but I’m too scared.
C#m Cb A G#
I know she left you because she didn’t understand
C#m Cb A G#
Her man is brutal and it’s all got out of hand
C#m Cb A G#
Her life is futile and she’s holding onto sand
C#m Cb A G#
She’s hoping for the future, but the lights gone out, it’s all gone black.
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m Cb A G#
La, la, la, la la la
C#m Cb A G#
And when I joined you (it was too late to)
C#m Cb A G#
You had already handled someone elses light.
C#m Cb A G#
You’ve got too many, you got too heavy
C#m Cb A G#
You got too solid oh it’s all too real.
[Chorus]
C#m G# Cb F#
Reel me in, ‘cause I’ve stopped swimming.
C#m G# Cb F#
And I’ll stand up when it all stops spinning.
C#m G# Cb F#
A#m I too cold for you? A#m I too old for you?
C#m G# Cb F#
I’ve got to have it, or I just might fly away.
C#m Cb A G#
[Verse]
C#m Cb A G#
You know I never really needed this,
C#m Cb A G#
It wasn’t just an idea on a list.
C#m Cb A G#
It’s never just a fun game, it’s just this.
C#m Cb A G#
It’s just a nightmare, it’s just too high up here.
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m Cb A G#
La, la, la, la la la
C#m Cb A G#
And when I joined you (it was too late to)
C#m Cb A G#
You had already handled someone elses light.
C#m Cb A G#
You’ve got too many, you got too heavy
C#m Cb A G#
You got too solid oh it’s all too real.
[Chorus]
C#m G# Cb F#
Reel me in, ‘cause I’ve stopped swimming.
C#m G# Cb F#
And I’ll stand up when it all stops spinning.
C#m G# Cb F#
A#m I too cold for you? A#m I too old for you?
C#m G# Cb F#
I’ve got to have it, or I just might fly away.
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m Cb A G#
La, la, la, la la la
C#m Cb A G#
And when I joined you (it was too late to)
C#m Cb A G#
You had already handled someone elses light.
C#m Cb A G#
You’ve got too many, you got too heavy
C#m Cb A G#
You got too solid oh it’s all too real.
[Chorus]
C#m G# Cb F#
Reel me in, ‘cause I’ve stopped swimming.
C#m G# Cb F#
And I’ll stand up when it all stops spinning.
C#m G# Cb F#
A#m I too cold for you? A#m I too old for you?
C#m G# Cb F#
I’ve got to have it, or I just might fly away.
[Outro]
C#m Cb A G#
La, la, la, la la la (fly away...)
C#m Cb A G#
La, la, la, la la la (fly away...)
