Intro: [C majorC - A minorAm - E minorEm - G+G] x2

Verse 1 chords:
C majorC  A minorAm      E minorEm G+G
 We won't get far,
C majorC A minorAm       E minorEm     G+G
 Flying in circles  inside a jar
C majorC       A minorAm     E minorEm G+G
 Because the air we breathe
C majorC  A minorAm         E minorEm      G+G
 Is thinning with the words that we speak


Chorus 1 chords:
    FF       C majorC   G+G
That we speak, you and me-e-e-e
    FF       C majorC   A minorAm  FF
That we speak, you and me-e-e-e


Verse 2: use verse 1 chords
You're on the floor
Fearful of what's outside your door
But the codes and keys
They can protect you
From the pangs of jealousy


Chorus 2: use chorus 1 chords
     FF         C majorC   G+G
When you scream, love you see-e-e-e
     FF              C majorC   A minorAm
Like a child, throwing stones at the sky-y-y-y
     FF              C majorC        G+G
When they fall back to earth, as minor chords of major works
     FF              C majorC      A minorAm   FF
Separate rooms of single life, we are one, we are alive


Outro: [use verse 1 chords]
We are alive
We are alive
We are alive
We are alive
