Fmaj7 Am G Dm C Cmaj7

Verse 1:

                   Fmaj7
I guess I like the pain more than I like my health
                    Am                      G
I guess I sometimes sing to try and help myself
                   Dm
I'm tryin' not to smile, I'm tryin' hard to laugh
               C                  Cmaj7
I tell myself this, I tell myself that
                 Fmaj7
"Love isn't the calm, no, love isn't the still"
                  Am                      G
Walking with the wind to try and catch a thrill
               Dm
I can see the steeple brush against the sky
           C                           Cmaj7
I see the place where we said our goodbyes

Chorus:

              Fmaj7
Yeah, it's a slow, slow break
   Am         G
A hard, hard shake
Dm
Slow, slow break
   C         Cmaj7
A hard, hard shake
              Fmaj7
Yeah, it's a slow, slow break
  Am          G
A hard, hard shake
Dm
Slow, slow break
   C         Cmaj7
A hard, hard shake


Verse 2:

          Fmaj7
If I was lightning, I would miss the tree
             Am                        G
If I wasn't writin', I would miss the kеy
                  Dm
If I only wanted darkness, I'd hide undеr a rock
              C                    Cmaj7
I'd never go out, I'd stay at the block
                Fmaj7                    F
Why do I always fly when I don't have my wings?
           Am                          G
Why do I collide with the world around me?
            Am7
I guess I'm alright
               C                        Cmaj7
I want you to sleep on the good side of me


Chorus:

              Fmaj7
Yeah, it's a slow, slow break
   Am         G
A hard, hard shake
Dm
Slow, slow break
   C          Cmaj7
A hard, hard shake
               Fmaj7
Yeah, it's a slow, slow break
   Am         G
A hard, hard shake
Dm
Slow, slow break
   C          Cmaj7
A hard, hard shake

Fmaj7 Am G Dm C Cmaj7
Fmaj7 Am G Dm C Cmaj7

Bridge:

Fmaj7                            Am
So, I don't know what I'm doin' here
   G                                        Dm
I woke up this spring and now I'm past the frame
                       C      Cmaj7
I gotta get away from here
         Fmaj7
To outer space
                         Am
Even if I could hold my breath
G                          Dm
Like a balloon, float and disappear
                         C     Cmaj7
I hope I make my way to you
               Fmaj7
Some brighter day


Outro:

Am                G        Dm
Wrong step, right turn

Wrong step, right turn
               Cmaj                     Cmaj7
I want you to sleep on the good side of me
