D Em G A (x2)


Verse 1:
         D
With her hand around the bottle with the lightning in tow
    Em
She tried her best to carry it far as she could go
      Bm            G              D                 A
She's done with her home, with her friends, with her own
Dmaj7
Identity, she's making it up along the way
    Em7
The boys are fallin hard you know they wish she could stay
      Bm7        Gmaj7
She's gone, in a beat
        Dmaj7          Em7
All she loves, all she leaves

Pre-Chorus:
    G            A
But if she finds that her stubbornness
Bm             Bm7
Can't outweigh all the loneliness
Gmaj7        A                      E
I'll be here when she falls back to earth
    G             A
And I'll be kind, I'll be everything
Bm             Bm7                     Gmaj7
You can't find in the streets at least I can try
A                   E7
I'll be here if you are


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


Verse 2:
         D
With her hand around the bottle sinking further than low
    Em
She buries every feeling far down as they can go
      Bm            G              D               A
She's gone far from home, far from friends, on her own
        Dmaj7
And the memory of everything that brought her to now
          Em7
Keeps her going for the moment, but the thought comes around
     Bm7        Gmaj7
It's gone, in a beat
      Dmaj7         Em7
Every chance, every dream


Pre-Chorus:
    G            A
But if she finds that her stubbornness
Bm             Bm7
Can't outweigh all the loneliness
Gmaj7        A                      E
I'll be here when she falls back to earth
    G             A
And I'll be kind, I'll be everything
Bm             Bm7                     Gmaj7
You can't find in the streets at least I can try
A                   E7
I'll be here if you are


Chorus:
G           A
If you find life ain't as easy as you
Bm                  E
Thought it, I'll be here in the city where
    G                     A                             E
The lights don't shine as bright and you can close your eyes
    G           A
But if you find everything you wanted I'll be
Bm               E7
By your side the minute that you want it
       G                 A                      D
If the time ain't right, know that you're on my mind
