Intro
B Bmaj7 B7 E
You were my Earth
[Verse 1]
B
And with a smile like an ocean wave
Bmaj7
You catapult around the Sun
B7
And meet me at the other side
E
To tell me that you found it fun
B
Swimmin' in the UV rays
Bmaj7
You shouted like the sound of thunder
B7
Boomin' through my stupid shades
E
You shook all of the ground undone
B Bmaj7
I slipped into your beauty like a mudslide
B7
And on my search, I found nothing but
E
upsides
B
Your arms extend like branches
Bmaj7
Whenever we touch I feel the bark begin to
B7 E
Soften up at all my sappy punchlines
B
Maybe that's the reason
[Chorus]
Bmaj7 B7
You're my earth
E B
You're the planet
Bmaj7 B7
You're the grass
E B
The wind and tides
Bmaj7 B7
And now that you're gone
E B
I feel so out of place
Bmaj7 B7
And now that you're gone
E B
I'm just driftin' through space
Bmaj7 B7
And now that you're gone
E B
I feel so out of place
Bmaj7 B7
And now that you're gone
E
I'm just driftin' through space
[Verse 2]
B
And when we split up like Pangea
Bmaj7
I was hopin' that we could reform
B7 E
F# landbridge between our separate pieces of the Earth
B
Before our disconnect began to breed a
Bmaj7
species
That would hurt much more
B7 E
Than carnivores, herbivores, recklessness or urban swarm
B Bmaj7
Maybe I could wash up on a certain shore
B7
Smilin' past a long night of drinkin'
E
And the lights above the island
B
Watching lightnin' flash every time
Bmaj7
You open up your eyelids
B7 E
Gentle smirks exploding like a fire in the sky
B
Until you scared away the forest creatures
Bmaj7
Sleepin' in the trees
B7
They began to huddle next to me
E
Weepin' in the leaves
B
See I watched you change the temperature
Bmaj7
Increasin' the degrees
B7
Until the warmth was just enough
E
To let them nestle into peace
B
I never thought there'd be
Bmaj7
F# problem that we couldn't solve
B7
When you control the weather's climate
E
And the sea levels and all
B
But I suppose that when an earthquake
Bmaj7
Splits the crust above the faults
B7
I shouldn't act as if the damage
E B
Wouldn't break up those involved
[Chorus]
Bmaj7 B7
You were my earth
E B
You were the planet
Bmaj7 B7
You were the grass
E B
The wind and tides
Bmaj7 B7
And now that you're gone
E B
I feel so out of place
Bmaj7 B7
And now that you're gone
E B
I'm just driftin' through space
Bmaj7 B7
And now that you're gone
E B
I feel so out of place
Bmaj7 B7
And now that you're gone
E B
I'm just driftin' through space
