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