Capo in 6th fret


Intro:
G+G


Verse 1:
G+G
  The same lie everyday
G+G                             E minorEm             D MajorD
  Another smile I will fake playing along, playing along

Verse 2:
G+G
  I fall asleep when I wake up
G+G                           E minorEm                  D MajorD
  and in my dreams I'll be painting the world, painting the world


Pre-chorus:
C majorC                                     D MajorD
  A augmentedA world I've built with immense care a parallell universe where
E minorEm                                      C majorC
  The thought of boredom is too abstract
C majorC                          D MajorD
  A augmentedA contrast to the trivial when everyday seem to feel like
E minorEm                              C majorC
  A augmentedA staged scene in a photograph


Chorus:
                     G+G
These pictures come life
                 C majorC         D MajorD
When they're portraying you
                              G+G
Yeah, these pictures come to life
                  C majorC               D MajorD
Dreams make their way into reality

G+G
  I used to wish for a plane
G+G                           E minorEm               D MajorD
  To come and take me away into the clouds, into the clouds


Verse 4:
G+G
  Longing to make my escape
G+G                           E minorEm                   D MajorD
  I was afraid I'd stay still on the ground, still on the ground


Pre-chorus:
C majorC                                 D MajorD
  You say “Paint over the gray sky when everyday seem to feel like
E minorEm                              C majorC
  A augmentedA staged scene in a photograph”
