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