Verse 1:
     D MajorD
With her hand around the bottle with the lightning in tow
  E minorEm
She tried her best to carry it far as she could go
   B minorBm      G+G       D MajorD         A augmentedA
She's done with her home, with her friends, with her own
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Identity, she's making it up along the way
  E minor 7Em7
The boys are fallin hard you know they wish she could stay
   Bm7Bm7    Gmaj7Gmaj7
She's gone, in a beat
    Dmaj7Dmaj7     E minor 7Em7
All she loves, all she leaves

Pre-Chorus:
  G+G      A augmentedA
But if she finds that her stubbornness
B minorBm       Bm7Bm7
Can't outweigh all the loneliness
Gmaj7Gmaj7    A augmentedA           E MajorE
I'll be here when she falls back to earth
  G+G       A augmentedA
And I'll be kind, I'll be everything
B minorBm       Bm7Bm7           Gmaj7Gmaj7
You can't find in the streets at least I can try
A augmentedA          E7E7
I'll be here if you are


Chorus:
G+G      A augmentedA
If you find life ain't as easy as you
B minorBm         E MajorE
Thought it, I'll be here in the city where
  G+G           A augmentedA               E MajorE
The lights don't shine as bright and you can close your eyes
  G+G      A augmentedA
But if you find everything you wanted I'll be
B minorBm        E MajorE
By your side the minute that you want it
    G+G         A augmentedA           D MajorD
If the time ain't right, know that you're on my mind

Verse 2:
     D MajorD
With her hand around the bottle sinking further than low
  E minorEm
She buries every feeling far down as they can go
   B minorBm      G+G       D MajorD        A augmentedA
She's gone far from home, far from friends, on her own
    Dmaj7Dmaj7
And the memory of everything that brought her to now
     E minor 7Em7
Keeps her going for the moment, but the thought comes around
   Bm7Bm7    Gmaj7Gmaj7
It's gone, in a beat
   Dmaj7Dmaj7     E minor 7Em7
Every chance, every dream


Pre-Chorus:
  G+G      A augmentedA
But if she finds that her stubbornness
B minorBm       Bm7Bm7
Can't outweigh all the loneliness
Gmaj7Gmaj7    A augmentedA           E MajorE
I'll be here when she falls back to earth
  G+G       A augmentedA
And I'll be kind, I'll be everything
B minorBm       Bm7Bm7           Gmaj7Gmaj7
You can't find in the streets at least I can try
A augmentedA          E7E7
I'll be here if you are


Chorus:
G+G      A augmentedA
If you find life ain't as easy as you
B minorBm         E MajorE
Thought it, I'll be here in the city where
  G+G           A augmentedA               E MajorE
The lights don't shine as bright and you can close your eyes
  G+G      A augmentedA
But if you find everything you wanted I'll be
B minorBm        E7E7
By your side the minute that you want it
    G+G         A augmentedA           D MajorD
If the time ain't right, know that you're on my mind
