CAPO: 3

Verse 1:
Am  C    F    C
 One touch, electric shock
   Am      C    F     C
Eyes locked, liked it, you feel that too
Am   C      F
 World stops, just us
   C   Am      C
Here on the dust and the darkness
F   C        G
Of the blue, out of the blue


Chorus:
C          Em F        G
Is this how it feels  to be in love?
    C   Em F        G
This is magical
this is magical
C          Em F        G
Is this how it feels  to be in love?
    C   Em F        Am C F C
This is magical
this is magical


Verse 2:
Am  C    F  C
 Our lips barely one inch
   Am      C   F   C
Your skin brushed by my fingertips
Am  C     F
 Mornings, wideness
  C  Am   C    F  C
So delicate, covers, as we begin
    G
As we begin


Chorus:
C          Em F        G
Is this how it feels  to be in love?
    C   Em F        G
This is magical
this is magical

Is this how it feels  to be in love?

This is magical
this is magical

(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)
G  C    Em F
(Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa)


Verse 3:
Am C      F     C      Am
 Silence, it's filled, as time stands still
  C        F  C
Our thoughts in the open room
Am  C   F    C   Am
 Lay here until the sun distances
   C    F    C
It's like the perfect view
       G
Now I'm with you


Chorus:
C          Em F        G
Is this how it feels  to be in love?
    C   Em F        G
This is magical

Is this how it feels  to be in love?
    C   Em N.C.
This is magical

                       Track 02 - ENGLAND
               Writer/s: Ed Sheeran, Aaron Dessner, Matt Berninger

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAPO: 3

Intro:

D

Verse 1:
   D         G   A
It is opening day and a brand new start
  D                  G   A
The stones have been cleared around the fisherman's hut
    D               G   A        G   A
And the air bites, then leaves almost invisible cuts on the skin
 D             G    A
A lighthouse retired, but a new one was hired
   D             G    A
About twenty foot taller painted in black and white
    D          G  A             G A
Twenty million steps with a computer inside instead of him


Chorus:
   G  D  A       D    A  Bm
Only one road sign, telling cars to slow down
   G     A      D
And a long drop in the ocean
    G   D  A      D     A   Bm
Beware of the rip tide, broken glass and train lines
    G      A        D
It's a new day, and this is England


Verse 2:
      D                G A
Next to the pub with the flag that's workin' flexible hours
     D                G    A
There's a mismatch of carriages, soil in a boat for some flowers
   D              G     A          G A
Fairy lights on a building that's supplying us power from the sea
  D            G   A
Electricity lines flow like veins to the town
   D                G  A
In-between there is nothing but grass and pebbles on the ground
    D           G      A           G A
Do not enter the wild here if you want to be found for the free


Chorus:
     G    D A      D    A  Bm
View the flame of sunrise cut in half by the sky
    G   A      D
And the empty of the desert
    G     D   A      D    A  Bm
Team of birds that swerve by and then land on the wires
    G      A        D
It's a new day, and this is England


Bridge:
     Em           G
When it's time to escape from the heavy of this
     D           A
There is nothing like washing away
      Em            G
I find this country of mine get some bad reputation
  D       A
Of being cold and grey
      Em            G
But on the coast of the south to the east followed round
     D         A
I find serenity I've never felt
     Em            G
There's a peace and a quiet in this island of ours
       D          A
That can't be mirrored by anywhere else


Verse 3:
     D               G  A
Homes protruding from stones with their wood-coloured black
     D        G    G
Scattered cars in a line, steam risin' out the shack
  D             G  A               G A
One door at the front and then just glass at the back for the view


Chorus:
    G    D A          D     A  Bm
And the blue is so bright, you'll need shades for your eyes
    G   A      D
And the cable to pull over
    G    D  A     D     A Bm
Take a walk and feel like, everything will be fine
    G      A       D
It's a new day, and this is England

NO CAPO

Verse 1:
Am      G       C     Dm
I called it "sickness" and they don't know the name of it
Am    G      F  C
I flew to Paris tryna get away, mm
Am     G     C     Dm
I drown my silence, embarrassed by the shame of it
Am     G       F  C
But all it seems to do is magnify the pain


Pre-Chorus:
    Am   G     C      Dm
I wish I was a strong boy, head in the sand
Am    G       F   C
If I were there, I would be the man
        Am    G    C   Dm
And my lips are searchin' for what happiness is
  Am     C       F    C
I'm draggin' my feet tryin' to breathe again


Chorus:
Am  C      F  C
 Yeah, I'm tryna feel amazin'
Am  C       F       G
 Yeah, but I can't get out of my way and
Am  C       F  C
 Yeah, wish I could feel amazin'
Am      C       F  G
 But this is all that I can feel today


Verse 2:
Am     G     C      Dm
I tore the page and I put all of my weight on it
Am     G         F   C
So I could stop it, tryin' to blow away, mm
Am     G         C      Dm
The darkest days, well, I got all I could take from them
Am     G      F   C
Startin' to think it'll never change


Pre-Chorus:
   Am     G     C    Dm
I see my life is planned in front of me
      Am      G      F    C
And I don't need to do a thing just because I can
    Am         G       C      Dm
And my friends are talkin' like, "What's happened to him "
  Am     G       F    C
I'm draggin' my feet tryin' to breathe again, ayy


Chorus:
Am  C      F  C

Verse 3:
Am    G       C     Dm
I'm tryna think, at the same time, tryna say somethin'
   Am      G        F  C
Can't switch off my brain, so don't meditate
   Am       G      C       Dm
Every time I crack a smile, I can sense another tear comin'
Am       G        F   C
That's kind of weird, but what can I say?


Pre-Chorus:
 Am       G    C      Dm
I know I'm on the edge and one push of the wind
   Am       G   F    C
Will send me flyin' deep into the unknown
    Am     G    C      Dm
I guess this is the time to let 'em all in
    Am     G          F    C
'Cause nothin' is worst than when you hit the low


Chorus:
Am  C      F  C
 Yeah, I'm tryna feel amazin'

 Yeah, but I can't get out of my way and

                      Track 04 - PLASTIC BAG
                   Writer/s: Ed Sheeran, Aaron Dessner

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO CAPO

Verse 1:
G                 Em
 I overthink and have troubles sleepin'
                     C
All purpose gone and don't have a reason
                      D
And there's no doctor to stop this bleedin'
                     G
So I left home and jumped in the deep end
                      Em
Took a job for dad, I think, just to please him
                   C
So when I quit, I just kept it secret
                   D
And I have friends, but no longer see them
                  G
And it's just me and, now, all my demons


Pre-Chorus:
G
Air heavy weighin' on my heart
      Em
I guess I'm done already, all but given up
      C
I'm burning days till the weekends
               D
And start, I just pretend I'm not where I am

Should I cancel my plans?


Chorus:
Em                      G
Saturday night, it's givin' me a reason to rеly on the strobe lights
         D
The lifeline of a promise and a shot glass and I'll take that
     C
If you're givin' out love from a plastic bag
Em                      G
Saturday night, it's givin' me a reason to rеly on the strobe lights
         D
The lifeline of a promise and a shot glass and I'll take that
     C
If you're givin' out love from a plastic bag


Verse 2:
G                        Em
 My friend died, it's been years, still grievin'
                     C
And I thought time would be somehow healin'
                     D
When love finds me, I'm too numb to feel it
                     G
Oh, why the fuck am I still here breathin'?
                    Em
Well, I would pray, but I don't believe it
                 C
Oh, woe is me, but I don't care either
                  D
Life is not the way that it seems, but

Maybe this will all be a dream


Pre-Chorus:
  G
And I'll stay steady, balanced on the rope
       Em
I guess that I'm not ready to rely on the hope
      C
I'm burning days till the weekends
               D
And start, I just pretend I'm not where I am

Should I cancel my plans?


Chorus:
Em                      G
Saturday night, it's givin' me a reason to rеly on the strobe lights
         D
The lifeline of a promise and a shot glass and I'll take that
     C
If you're givin' out love from a plastic bag
Em                      G
Saturday night, it's givin' me a reason to rеly on the strobe lights
         D
The lifeline of a promise and a shot glass and I'll take that
     C
If you're givin' out love from a plastic bag


Bridge:
Am   G     D
 I'm a wreck and I
             Am
Take me to the other side
      G   D
Don't look in my eyes, oh, woah


Verse 3:
G                      Em
 It's almost mornin' and I'm still not leavin'
                    C
It's wearin' off, but I still can feel it
                 D
Another one and I'll touch the ceilin'
N.C.
This is all I want to be


Chorus:
Em                      G
Saturday night, it's givin' me a reason to rеly on the strobe lights
         D
The lifeline of a promise and a shot glass and I'll take that
     C
If you're givin' out love from a plastic bag
Em                      G
Saturday night, it's givin' me a reason to rеly on the strobe lights
         D
The lifeline of a promise and a shot glass and I'll take that
     C                 N.C.
If you're givin' out love from a plastic bag

Verse 1:
    C        F    C
Oh, it took a while to read the signs
  Am        G     F
But she used to be a friend of mine
C          F   C
Leanin' forward, but fell behind

Loneliness redefined

Quietly stuck in the moment, I'm not over you

Verse 2:
   C         F    C
Oh, I missed the mark a hundred times
    Am        G     F
Try to take it back and change the night
     C        F   C
Yeah, we used to set the dream alive
     Am        G   F
Till the day it's sunk and slowly died


Pre-Chorus:
F        G    Am
Over and all of above, I hope for
       G    C
Happiness is all you know, but

CAPO: 5

Verse 1:
    C
We're a long way from home
    G
Haven't seen you in so long
    F
But it all came back in one moment
    C
And the year started cold
       G
But I didn't notice at all
      F
And when we found there's a room we're both in


Pre-Chorus:
    C
We get Chinese food in small white boxes
F
 Live the life we saw in Friends
   G
Your room, it barely fits the mattress
G
 Wake up, leave for work again
  C
The wind, it seems to blow right through us
F
 Down jackets are the trend
  G
The rush, we're rushing deep into love


Chorus:
           C
English girl in an American town
          Em
No elevator to the fifth floor
                   F
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
         G
I wish time would freeze
          C
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
          Em
Feet are three feet off the ground
             F
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
         G
It's just you and me
            C      Em
My English girl in an American town
    F      G
In an American town


Verse 2:
C
Days come and go
    G
But it ends windows closed
    F
And the scent of your perfume's on me
     C
You're useless with your phone
    G
Electric when one-on-one
      F
I thought I would be more nervous, darlin'


Pre-Chorus:
     C
We watch comedies and miss the endings
F
 Conversations till the dawn
     G
And your changin' tide, we push against it
G
 Challenge meanings in the songs
  C
And head out without a reservation
F
 Drinkin' out of paper bags
  G
And wasting time is time not wasted


Chorus:
              C
For my English girl in an American town
          Em
No elevator to the fifth floor
                   F
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
         G
I wish time would freeze
          C
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
          Em
Feet are three feet off the ground
             F
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
         G
It's just you and me
            Dm
My English girl in an American town


Bridge:
           Am              F
And when our eyes are closed together, I can't explain
           G              Dm
How the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place
         Am              F
We can watch it unfold or we can change how it takes
           G
And we build when it breaks down


Pre-Chorus:
     C
We drink Moscow Mules and steal the cups
  F
From, mostly the Bowery bar
    G
What a perfect day to fall in love on
G
 What a way to make a start
     C
And it appears, when you think all is lost
F                 G
 Then, you don't remember when it started

Never have to pretend


Chorus:
              C
With my English girl in an American town
          Em
No elevator to the fifth floor
                   F
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
         G
I wish time would freeze
          C
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
          Em
Feet are three feet off the ground
             F
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
         G
It's just you and me
           C
English girl in an American town
          Em
No elevator to the fifth floor
                   F
I'll ring on the buzzer, then you'll be right down
         G
I wish time would freeze
          C
Dungarees over the hoodie, we're out
          Em
Feet are three feet off the ground
             F
Lost in love and we don't wanna be found
         G
It's just you and me
  N.C.
My English girl in an American town

NO CAPO

Verse 1:
           Em
Is this just gettin' older?
       D       G
I can't get away from this rain
        C
I'm statin' to think that it's me
  Em         D
And I wanna just create things
         Bm         C
But the longer it takes, I feel drink up
             Em
Remember a day I've been sober
D           G
Not in a place to take blame
     C
Any more way I might break
Em            D
Tell me, do you feel the same?
       Bm       C
Guess we all go the same way
     D
I'm in a bit of a mess here
     D
Count to ten and hope to disappear
        Em
I never did my homework
D
Could I have been more than this?
     C      Em           D
Findin' a way to exist within a world with no risk
     Bm         C
Forcin' a shoe that won't fit
           Em
I spend most the days stoned
  D       G
And makin' excuses for it
        C
Sayin', "It'll help to write this"
Em             D
But on the real, I'm tight-lipped
       Bm         C
Shootin' the shot that I'll miss


Pre-Chorus:
      D
And it's so far from it
         D
Why the hell am I still here?


Chorus:
            G
This is not the end of our lives
        D         C
This is just a bump in the ride
            G
And I know that it will be alright
              D       C
And if it's nothin', we're fucked, aren't we?
        G               D    C
I can't help myself but cry every time that I realise
         G
Maybe I'll never find my smile
             D     C
But who's to blame? Well, that's on me
        D
Well, that's on me, well, that's on me


Verse 2:
            Em
Now that the weather is colder
D            G
Nothin' is maskin' this pain
        C
The summer was here, but won't stay
  Em            D
And we are inside, like, all day
        Bm         C
Regrettin' the things that we say
        Em
And it takes a toll, yeah
  D         G
The conversation won't end
    C
Bein' a rock for your friends
Em             D
Cracks in the surface don't mend
    Bm          C
We only break, we don't bend
           D
And you think it was so clear
        D
But I can't see nothin' but the fear
        Em
I'm feelin' so bloated
D             G
Thinkin' the silent won't do
      C
My ass will open up too
Em          D
Lockin' myself in my room
      Bm      C
Hopin' that this will end soon
        Em
And no one will notice
D           G
What I will put myself through
         C
'Cause they will hate themselves too
Em          D
Isn't it mad what we do?
       Bm         C
Pretendin' to win, but just lose


Pre-Chorus:
      D
And it's so far from here
         D
Why the hell am I still here?


Chorus:
            G
This is not the end of our lives
        D         C
This is just a bump in the ride
            G
And I know that it will be alright
              D       C
And if it's nothin', we're fucked, aren't we?
        G               D    C
I can't help myself but cry every time that I realise
         G
Maybe I'll never find my smile
             D     C
But who's to blame? Well, that's on me
        D
Well, that's on me, well, that's on me


Bridge:
        Am
Too many things on my mind
       G       D
To process moments of life
         Am
That, somedays, I lose my drive
          G    D
And some, can't control the fire
         Am
I move where the things take time
       G      D
But I'm not a patient guy
      Am
Maybe if I wait, I'll find
        G       D
Resemblance and peace of mind


Verse 3:
           Em
This is just gettin' older
D          G
Runnin' away from my past
      C
Knowin' the comet won't last
Em          D
Bein' a mouse in this grass
      Bm        C
Feedin' the snakes behind us
           Em
And I'm searchin' for closure
  D            G
But nothin' is healin' these scars
    C
When I open up, they just laugh
Em            D
Sayin' that they had just half
         Bm
That nothin' will ever be dark


Pre-Chorus:
       D
Is it new me, new year
           D
Or just the same old blues fear?


Chorus:
            G
This is not the end of our lives
        D         C
This is just a bump in the ride
            G
And I know that it will be alright
              D       C
And if it's nothin', we're fucked, aren't we?
        G               D    C
I can't help myself but cry every time that I realise
         G
Maybe I'll never find my smile
             D     C
But who's to blame? Well, that's on me

Well, that's on me, well, that's on me

Well, that's on me

Verse 1:
D
 I'm a half-read story, I was fine on the shelf

 Why did you take me down as if I needed your help?

 No prior warnin', no one to catch when I fell

 Now that you're not around, I'm not doin' so well


Pre-Chorus:

 Do I look like a monster underneath all my skin?

 For a moment of glory, I would risk all I am

 I look at what we had and I don't understand

Verse 1:
      G      D C
Well, good morning, day
            G  D C
What a way to start the day
     G       D C
With everything laid out
             G   D C
Here on the pillow like a friend


Pre-Chorus:
      G        D
If I could catch your every flick of light
  C
I'd catch your all and everything
 G      D      C
I wager that nobody's ever felt the way we feel
   Em
And I ask you to be all the life
 C              G
I knew for every second of our ups and downs
            D
They turned around like grass upon the wheel
   Am
Like grass upon the wheel


Chorus:
      Em  D G  D C
Well, I get lost inside my head

In this chaos, you're my calm

At midnight in your arms

Sorry I missed your call
            G  D C
It was hidin' from the sun
             G      D C
And you know, when you'rе free to talk
            G   D     C
I won't miss it for the world, no, I won't


Pre-Chorus:
      G        D
I could not wish for more in life
       C
Than just to hear, to when you smile
      G          D
I could go blind and I'll still know your scent
  C
Whenever you'd appear
    Em
I have moments when I doubt myself
  C
But feeling low should still be felt
   G              D
It's natural to be consumed with unrelentin' fear
   Am
With unrelentin' fear


Chorus:
      Em  D G  D C
Well, I get lost inside my head
    Em D  G   D C
In this chaos, you're my calm

CAPO: 3

Intro:

D G A


Verse 1:
D
 Where is my mind? I've lost the nerve
              G
This year flew by without a word
             A
I had a plan to cross the world

But haven't left this island
D
 The stores closed down and opened up
           G
I said I'd do a sober month
                  A
I failed, but tried and wrote this drunk

In overwhelming silence


Chorus:
Bm            A
 And I'll see my friends when all this ends
G       A             D
 But now until then, I'm holdin' out for spring
          G A                D
We can't let winter win, that's why I'm holdin' out for spring
            G    A          D   G A
Oh, what a state we're in, I'll keep holdin' out for spring


Verse 2:
D
 Homework and cancelled holidays
                G
The blame gets passed to save a face
                A
The smell of last night's takeaway

Just tells me I'm a mess
D
 Still watchin' shows they recommend
               G
That don't get good until the end
                 A
And I could be unwell, but then again

Maybe I'm just depressed


Chorus:
Bm          A
 And I'll fix my head when all this ends
G       A            D
 But now until then, I'm holdin' out for spring
          G A                D
We can't let winter win, that's why I'm holdin' out for spring
            G    A          D
Oh, what a state we're in, I'll keep holdin' out for spring


Bridge:
   E
Time, blue skies
D       E
Crossed face, slowly
C#    B    D
Cross my mind to linger
  E      D
And hope out for spring


Outro:
          G A                D
We can't let winter win, that's why I'm holdin' out for spring

CAPO: 4

Verse 1:
C            Am
 I can't help but be destructive right now
C            G
 It's been weeks since I saw your outline
C           Am
 In my room, there's a silence so loud
C          G
 This is what losin' hope might sound like


Chorus:
Em    G         D
 Put me down so I'm in my place
     C
Say it's over for breathin' space
Em   G           D
 All I was was a route to change
       C
Is this just growin' up?


Verse 2:
C          Am
 I might seem too distracted right now
C            G
 It's been so long, I've been the punchline
C          Am
 I stand naked while these clothes dry out
C           G
 Leave me drowning to edit the runtime


Chorus:
Em    G         D
 Put me down so I'm in my place
     C
Say it's over for breathin' space
Em   G           D
 All I was was a route to change
       C
Is this just growin' up?
Em     G           D
 All this love cannot seal my fate
      C
Though it's all that I've been of late
Em     G             D
 Caught in webs I've wove with my mistakes
      C
But this is growin' up


Outro:
Dm            F
 I can't help it, but I love you so
         C
I can't take this lettin' go
         G
I still feel that we could work it out or somethin'
Dm         F
 All I am is only flesh and bone
          C
Why's your heart so freezin' cold?
           G
Don't you leave your weight on me, on me (Hey)
Dm            F
 I can't help it, but I love you so
         C
I can't take this lettin' go
         G
I still feel that we could work it out or somethin'
Dm         F
 All I am is only flesh and bone

Why's your heart so freezin' cold?

Don't you leave your weight on me, on me (No, I can't help it, no)
            C
I can't help it, but I love you so (No, I can't help it, no)
         G
I can't take this lettin' go (I will never let you go)
              G                               Dm
I still feel that we could work it out or somethin' (I will never let you go; No, I can't help it, no)
         F
All I am is only flesh and bone (No, I can't help it, no)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO CAPO

Verse 1:
   C            F
Got a call from my mother who wishes that she was here
     G
Couple of cards in the post that I'm readin'
      C             F
I want the warmth of the summer, the cold too cold to bear
     G
The only plus is the sweater I needed
     C          F
I broke apart from my lover a couple months ago
       G
If they were here, then I guess I wouldn't be alone
      C          F
This is the life in the city and that's the way it goes
      G
But it's a fine excuse just to leave it


Pre-Chorus:
Dm          C            G
 I hit her mom and I asked, "Arе you comin' over "
Dm          C              G
 And all I got was a shrug and then, "I don't know"


Chorus:
       C         F
And evеryone I know is hidden away
      G
Tryna make their bodies clean again
        C      F
And they don't want to celebrate
    G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
      C               F
Always the month when parties come to an end
      G
The same excuses from every friend
    C            F
Another year and now we're here again
    G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born


Post-Chorus:
         C
Another birthday alone
   F       G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay
         C
Another birthday alone
   F       G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay


Verse 2:
    C           F
I hit a bar in town, get my account, start a tav
   G
Everyday that we're here, well, we're never gettin' back
     C             F
And so I drink for the confidence 'cause that's what I lack
      G
And end up talkin' to strangers and findin' another plaque
    C          F
I am denyin' in the carpet, spinnin' on my own
     G
Watchin' pointless shit and flickin' through my phone
     C         F
And would April be better? I guess I'll never know
       G
I'll take the keys from my pocket and stumble into home


Pre-Chorus:
  Dm         C          G
And I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower
Dm           C      G
 I'm headin' down and now I'm on a row


Chorus:
       C         F
And evеryone I know is hidden away
      G
Tryna make their bodies clean again
        C      F
And they don't want to celebrate
    G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
      C               F
Always the month when parties come to an end
      G
The same excuses from every friend
    C            F
Another year and now we're here again
    G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born


Post-Chorus:
         C
Another birthday alone
   F       G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay


Instrumental Bridge:
C F G
C F G


Pre-Chorus:
Dm         C          G
 I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower
Dm           C      G
 I'm headin' down and now I'm on a row


Chorus:
       C         F
And evеryone I know is hidden away
      G
Tryna make their bodies clean again
        C      F
And they don't want to celebrate
    G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
      C               F
Always the month when parties come to an end
      G
The same excuses from every friend
    C            F
Another year and now we're here again
    G
Nobody cares this is the day I was born


Post-Chorus:
         C
Another birthday alone
   F       G
La-la-lay, la-la-lay
         C
Another birthday alone
   F       G  C
La-la-lay, la-la-lay

NO CAPO

Verse 1:
        C
She came in the bedroom
        F
Lookin' like a photograph
          Dm
Turned to face the window
           G
Moonlight traced the contours of her back
       C
Only she can see me
          F
Shed the skin that guards the man
         Dm
Sheltered by the ceiling
           G
This is the start and end of everything


Chorus:
         C
And we'll go it alone
          F
'Cause no one will understand
            Dm
How it just feels like flying
                 G
Here within the confines of your bed

How beautiful we blend


Post-Chorus:
       C   G  F
Crashin' in, head, then heels
       Am  G  C
Crashin' in, head, thеn heels
       C   G  F
Crashin' in, head, then heels


Verse 2:
      C
Unrequitеd love songs
         F
Longing words we used to sing
           Dm
Your faith was in the first one
         G
We opened up our hearts to let them in
              C
And now all these scars are keloids
         F
Reminding us and cautioning
         Dm
Rebuild what was destroyed
         G
Turn it, then the chapter can begin


Chorus:
         C
And we'll go it alone
          F
'Cause no one will understand
            Dm
How it just feels like flying
                 G
Here within the confines of your bed

How beautiful we blend
         C
And, together, we soar
       F
High over the old wasteland
        Dm
We escaped the fire
                     G
And planted roots when there was nothin' left

How beautiful we blend


Post-Chorus:
       C   G  F
Crashin' in, head, then heels
       Am  G  C
Crashin' in, head, thеn heels
       C   G  F
Crashin' in, head, then heels
       Am  G  C
Crashin' in, head, thеn heels
       C   G  F
Crashin' in, head, then heels
       Am  G  C
Crashin' in, head, thеn heels
       C   G  F
Crashin' in, head, then heels
       Am  G  C
Crashin' in, head, then heels
