Verse 1:
              G             Cadd9
We're in the rain, in outer space
            A7sus4                                             Cadd9
And I can't fathom an explanation for what we're doing in this place
         G                   Cadd9
Now your hair clings to your cheek
           A7sus4                              Cadd9
I brush it aside ever so gently, thank you for being here for me

Chorus:
Em       Cadd9        G
It's not easy staying clean, wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen
Em                Cadd9                   G
It feels like I'm slipping behind a screen of nighlights and suicidal tendencies
Em       Cadd9             G
It's not easy feeling cold like burning numb hands under a water stream
Em             Cadd9               G
Wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen


Verse 3:
             G                     Cadd9
We're in the snow, under the milky way
       A7sus4                            Cadd9
And no matter how hard I try to, I can't possibly explain
           G                   Cadd9
My shaking hands and my breaking bones
                     A7sus4                            Cadd9
There's nothing like whispers in your mind to keep you aware that you're alone


Chorus:
Em       Cadd9        G
It's not easy staying clean, wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen
Em                Cadd9                  G
It feels like I'm slipping behind a screen of nighlights and suicidal tendencies
Em       Cadd9            G
It's not easy feeling cold like burning numb hands under a water stream
Em             Cadd9               G
Wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen


Verse 5:
Cadd9                     G
In moments like this it's hard to breathe steadily
Cadd9                        G
The world is spinning and my hands shake uncontrollably
Dm6                       G
Life's a hair, one gentle blow and it could be gone
Dm6                    Cadd9
And I've never felt so afraid


Instrumental:

G, Cadd9, A7sus4, Cadd9


Verse 6:
             G               Cadd9
We're on the earth, on solid ground
            A7sus4                 Cadd9
Do you have any idea how lucky you are to be around
G                Cadd9
You're not alone, please never forget
   A7sus4               Cadd9
My arms are your second home
