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