Listen to the song for the timings of the chords as it can be a little
tricky at first.

Intro

F#m A E C#m


Verse 1:

F#m           A
Everyone it seems,
E                C#m
has somewhere to go.

F#m                         A
And the faster the world spins,
E                            C#m
the shorter the lights will glow.

      F#m                   A
And I’m swimming in the night.
E                 C#m
chasing down the moon.

F#m                  A
The deeper in the water
E                   C#m
the more I long for you



Chorus 1:

    B                                 G#m
And most of what you see my dear is purely for show
        F#m                  D                 C#m
because not everything that goes around comes back around you know

   B                            G#m
Holding on too long is just a fear of letting go,
        F#m                  D                 C#m
because not everything that goes around comes back around you know

 B
One thing that is clear, it’s all downhill from here.

Verse 2:

F#m                       A
The love light in your hand,
E              C#m
cleverly disguised.

F#m                     A
All the promises of stone,
E                C#m
crumble in the night.


Chorus 2:


  B                           G#m
Most of what you see my dear is worth letting go
        F#m                  D                 C#m
because not everything that goes around comes back around you know
  B                         G#m
Holding on too long is just fear of what to show
        F#m                  D                 C#m
because not everything that goes around comes back around you know
F#m                  D                 C#m
not everything that goes around comes back around you know

B                                                  C#m
One thing that is clear, it’s all downhill from here
End on C#m

The end
