Intro
G C x2
[Verse 1]
G C
Thunderstorms, a friendly thing that remind me I could be dead.
G C
It's 2 AM; I'm lying in my cotton bed.
G C
I wish that I could rip the roof to see the stars,
G C
but the off-white light on the ceiling will be fine tonight.
[Chorus]
Em D C
I don't know what I know anymore.
Em D C
I know what I love and nothing more.
[Verse 2]
G C
My black and white striped shirt that I'll wear anywhere.
G C
The light that shines into my room from everywhere.
G C
My mom, my dad, my home, my friends, my childhood.
G C
The sound of birds, my open eyes, and memories of a past life.
[Chorus]
Em D C
I don't know why I survived.
Em D C
Maybe it's because sometimes I'd have rather died.
Em D C
I don't know why I survived.
Em D C
I guess it's just because I survived.
[Instrumental]
G C x2
[Verse 3]
G C
It's 2pm on Tuesday, and I'm 20 years old.
G C
Slow down, watch the sky, you'll be young forever.
G C
See? I'm just dreaming.
G C
See, I'm just floating in the light.
[Chorus]
Em D C
I thought that I saw the other side,
Em D C
but it was only sunlight in my eyes.
[Outro]
