Outro:
Fm C
I've been battling a broken heart
Fm C
Everybody knows I'm torn apart
C D
Since I was eight years old and I thought that
Dm C
God was a girl in my school huh
Fm C
If we can wind up on a sandy beach
Fm C
Breathin' air that only death can reach
F Fm
And singing songs that only heaven leaves
C D
It's okay with me
Fm C
And God is wanting us to make believe
Fm C
But knowing something is only a dream
F Fm
Like the absolutes and the in-between
C D Dm
Are out of line, sometimes, intertwined, behind
C N.C.
A mind, in line, and fights that only fools are still trying to fight
