Intro
D# D#maj7 D#7 G#
You were my Earth
[Verse 1]
D#
And with a smile like an ocean wave
D#maj7
You catapult around the Sun
D#7
And meet me at the other side
G#
To tell me that you found it fun
D#
Swimmin' in the UV rays
D#maj7
You shouted like the sound of thunder
D#7
Boomin' through my stupid shades
G#
You shook all of the ground undone
D# D#maj7
I slipped into your beauty like a mudslide
D#7
And on my search, I found nothing but
G#
upsides
D#
Your arms extend like branches
D#maj7
Whenever we touch I feel the bark begin to
D#7 G#
Soften up at all my sappy punchlines
D#
Maybe that's the reason
[Chorus]
D#maj7 D#7
You're my earth
G# D#
You're the planet
D#maj7 D#7
You're the grass
G# D#
The wind and tides
D#maj7 D#7
And now that you're gone
G# D#
I feel so out of place
D#maj7 D#7
And now that you're gone
G# D#
I'm just driftin' through space
D#maj7 D#7
And now that you're gone
G# D#
I feel so out of place
D#maj7 D#7
And now that you're gone
G#
I'm just driftin' through space
[Verse 2]
D#
And when we split up like Pangea
D#maj7
I was hopin' that we could reform
D#7 G#
A# landbridge between our separate pieces of the Earth
D#
Before our disconnect began to breed a
D#maj7
species
That would hurt much more
D#7 G#
Than carnivores, herbivores, recklessness or urban swarm
D# D#maj7
Maybe I could wash up on a certain shore
D#7
Smilin' past a long night of drinkin'
G#
And the lights above the island
D#
Watching lightnin' flash every time
D#maj7
You open up your eyelids
D#7 G#
Gentle smirks exploding like a fire in the sky
D#
Until you scared away the forest creatures
D#maj7
Sleepin' in the trees
D#7
They began to huddle next to me
G#
Weepin' in the leaves
D#
See I watched you change the temperature
D#maj7
Increasin' the degrees
D#7
Until the warmth was just enough
G#
To let them nestle into peace
D#
I never thought there'd be
D#maj7
A# problem that we couldn't solve
D#7
When you control the weather's climate
G#
And the sea levels and all
D#
But I suppose that when an earthquake
D#maj7
Splits the crust above the faults
D#7
I shouldn't act as if the damage
G# D#
Wouldn't break up those involved
[Chorus]
D#maj7 D#7
You were my earth
G# D#
You were the planet
D#maj7 D#7
You were the grass
G# D#
The wind and tides
D#maj7 D#7
And now that you're gone
G# D#
I feel so out of place
D#maj7 D#7
And now that you're gone
G# D#
I'm just driftin' through space
D#maj7 D#7
And now that you're gone
G# D#
I feel so out of place
D#maj7 D#7
And now that you're gone
G# D#
I'm just driftin' through space
