Intro: FF - G+G x4


Verse 1:

      DmDm      A minorAm
Don't look ahead, just run to me
      C majorC         G+G
Each step will find the next one recklessly
      DmDm         A minorAm
We'll find ourselves on the safest ledge
     C majorC         G+G
Well, pardon me, I couldn't help myself
   FF  G+G   FF    G+G
Girl, fall into your life here
  FF G+G   FF    G+G
If only for a while, I'm here


Chorus 1:

Cadd11    C majorC    Bb majorBb     A minorAm
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
     FF  G+G   A minorAm  E minorEm     FF  F minorFm
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
   Cadd11 C majorC       Bb majorBb        A minorAm
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
    FF  G+G   A minorAm  E minorEm     FF  F minorFm
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
   FF  G+G   FF   G+G
It's fine, it's fine

Then, FF - G+G x2


Verse 2:

     DmDm      A minorAm     C majorC      G+G
You felt alone before you ever really knew how alone you were
    DmDm      A minorAm
An empty house, a lonely room
   C majorC        G+G
The TV talks the fear right out of you
         FF  G+G   FF         G+G
But you feel like someone's standing by, but you'll never know


Chorus 2:

Cadd11    C majorC    Bb majorBb     A minorAm
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
     FF  G+G   A minorAm  E minorEm     FF  F minorFm
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
   Cadd11 C majorC       Bb majorBb        A minorAm
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
    FF  G+G   A minorAm  E minorEm     FF  F minorFm
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
   (mute)
It's fine


Bridge:

  FF  G+G   A minorAm E minorEm  A minorAm          C majorC  G+G
The sun burns a hole straight through your old flaws
    FF  G+G   A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm      DmDm   G+G
If you look toward the sky even on your greyest night
FF      G+G          Am*     Am/G#
Could you be happy now, with the wind in your hair
     Am/GAm/G Am/F#       FF      G+G
And your eyes open wide and your feet going nowhere?


Chorus 3:

Cadd11    C majorC    Bb majorBb     A minorAm
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
     FF  G+G   A minorAm  E minorEm     FF  F minorFm
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
   Cadd11 C majorC       Bb majorBb        A minorAm
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
    FF  G+G   A minorAm  E minorEm     FF  F minorFm
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
   (mute)
It's fine


Please note:

I tabbed the chords on the bridge according to what the bass is playing.
If you listen carefully you'll notice the chords are right, you just have to learn the timing.

The chords in the "with the wind in your hair..." part are also tricky.
I've put the ones that, in my opinion, sound better.

As always, if you have any corrections, feel free to comment, but please, be polite!
