Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)



Verse 1:
D           C#       F#m
Blow the candles out
        B                D
Raise a glass to the night
            C#         F#m
Let all the tension out
            B               D
You've been wound up so tight
       C#         F#m      B                D
It's a tender trap to plan ahead all the time
       C#          F#m           B
If you measure the world by what you leave behind
