Verse 1

Bm     D
Oh London moon
        A
Help me stumble home
       F#m                   E
Let me lose myself along the way
         Bm      D
I've got nothing left
             A
It's kind of wonderful
              F#m                   E
Cause there's nothing they can take away (away)

Bm - D - A - F#m - E x2

Verse 2

Bm   D
The open doors
        A
Left me wanting more
      F#m                           E
Never thought they'd close them all away
    Bm    D            A
The ordinary life they want for you
      F#m                 E
Is it too much to have to bear?

Pre-Chorus

F#m                  A
But it's another way to win a useless fight

F#m
You've been lying so long from the way that you're faking
                      E
See the water run and rise
     F#m                A
Just another day into a useless night
       F#m
I been pushing so hard that my hands are shaking
                      E
See the water run and rise

Chorus x2

Bm       D
But I've been turned around
      A
I was upside down
          F#m                      E
I thought love would always find a way
           Bm     D
But I know better now
       A
Got it figured out
       F#m                   E
It's a perfect world all the same

World x8

Bm - D - A - F#m - E x2

This next part's a bit messy 'cause of the delay and modulation on the guitar(s?).

Bm     D
I was hoping for
        A
An easy rambling life
        F#m               E
Till an ocean came to my mind
            Bm    D
We look for exit signs
       A
But we can't be changed
     F#m          E
Into nothing overnight
          Bm        D
Though we know it's over
   A
It keeps exploding
F#m                   E
Every morning when we rise

Bm - D - A - F#m - E x2
