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