D                            G
1,000 other boys could never reach you
D                         G
How could I have been the one
D                      G
I saw the world spin beneath you

And scatter like ice from the spoon
     G        A     G
That was your woooooooooomb


CHORUS:
Bm    A        G            D
Comin down the world turned over
    Bm     A        G       D
And angels fall without you there
    Bm   A     G       D
And I go on as you get colder

Or are you someone's prayer

And the love you never knew
D                            G
What's the things they never showed you
     Riff 1
That swallowed the light from the sun
  G         A            G
Inside your rooooooooom, yeeaah

Bm    A        G            D
Comin down the world turned over
    Bm     A        G       D
And angels fall without you there
    Bm   A     G       D
And I go on as you get colder

Always someone
