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