Intro:
G             Gmaj7/F#
G             Gmaj7/F#
G             Gmaj7/F#
G             Gmaj7/F#


Verse 1:
G             Gmaj7/F#
 Watch me
G             Gmaj7/F#
I'm inspiring
G             Gmaj7/F#
It's a miracle
          G              Bm             G
How I'm everywhere but nowhere all at once
          Gmaj7/F#
Look out
           G             Gmaj7/F#
You could get sucked in
            G             Gmaj7/F#
Catch the "cynical"
          G            Bm              C
Breath me in and suddenly you're in a rut
                     G
I'm standing on the edge
         Dadd4/F#      C
of that coveted closure
                        G
If I close my eyes and fall
      Dadd4/F#      C
would all of it be over?
                    G
I've tried so many roads
         Dadd4/F#      C                    Amadd2
Thought you promised I would find my way to Rome.


Chorus:
G    Dadd4/F#    Cadd2
Oo -   ooh    am   I    a cautionary tale
G             Dadd4/F#             Cadd2
  Of floating aimless through the fog
G    Dadd4/F#      Cadd2                           G
Ah     ooh       ah ooh I heard the siren song cascade around me
Dadd4/F#                  Cadd2
     But didn’t feel them pull at all
G         Dadd4/F#      Cadd2
   I was afraid, I was afraid
G         Dadd4/F#      Cadd2
   I was afraid, I was afraid


Verse 2:
G             Gmaj7/F#
 Not now
         G             Gmaj7/F#
I will track it down
         G             Gmaj7/F#
Find my feet somehow
       G              Bm           G
Stumbling is not what I intend to do
                       G
Now my back is to the edge
        Dadd4/F#   C
Of that fugitive closure
                           G
I won't close my eyes and fall
     Dadd4/F#        C
Don't want it to be over
                    G
I've tried so many roads
            Dadd4/F#          C             Amadd2
Thought you promised I would find my way to Rome.


Chorus:
G    Dadd4/F#    Cadd2
Oo -   ooh    am   I    a cautionary tale
G             Dadd4/F#             Cadd2
  Of floating aimless through the fog
G    Dadd4/F#      Cadd2                           G
Ah     ooh       ah ooh I heard the siren songs cascade around me
Dadd4/F#                  Cadd2
     But didn’t feel them pull at all
G           Dadd4/F#              Cadd2
   I'm still afraid, I'm still afraid
G           Dadd4/F#              Cadd2
   I'm still afraid, I'm still afraid

Bridge:
G        Dadd4/F#         Cadd2
 Ah   -  ooh       ah  -  ooh
G        Dadd4/F#         Cadd2
 Ah   -  ooh       ah  -  ooh I heard the siren songs
G        Dadd4/F#         Cadd2
 Ah   -  ooh       ah  -  ooh
G        Dadd4/F#         Cadd2
 Ah   -  ooh       ah  -  ooh I heard the siren songs

G            C   C/B Am   C/B C  C/B Am


Verse 3:
G             Gmaj7/F#
  Giving in
            G             Gmaj7/F#
Is not the worst of sins
           G             Gmaj7/F#
Find some rest my friends
           G                        Bm           C
As long as you make sure you're surrendering to light
                       G
Now I turn around and face
    Dadd4/F#    C
The welcoming closure
                     G
If I close my eyes and jump
    Dadd4/F#         C
I know I can make it over
                     G
I've tried so many roads
     Dadd4/F#          C               Amadd2
Now I know that I can find my way back home


Chorus:
G    Dadd4/F#      Cadd2
Oo -   ooh    I'll tell  the cautionary tale
G             Dadd4/F#             Cadd2
  Of floating aimless through the fog
G    Dadd4/F#      Cadd2                           G
Ah     ooh       ah ooh I heard the siren songs cascade around me
Dadd4/F#                   Cadd2
     But I don't feel them pull at all


Outro:
G         Dadd4/F#        Cadd2
  I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
G         Dadd4/F#        Cadd2
  I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
G         Dadd4/F#        Cadd2
  I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
G         Dadd4/F#        Cadd2
  I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
G         Dadd4/F#        Cadd2
  I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
G         Dadd4/F#        Cadd2
