Intro:

G


Verse:

G                         Am
Why deny all the troubles when combined with the missing links

*(see below)       D    G
It don’t feel like home now


                                           Am
That your gone all the troubles suddenly explained infinitum

                          *(see below)  D
You’re always wishing and never here at home

G                          
You all the dreams we shared and

G7         C
Lights we turned on

        Adim             Bb
But the house is getting dark

    G7              C
And I don’t want to know your past

    Adim             Bb
But together share the dawn

    Bb+
And I won’t 


Chorus:

G   G/F#  Em         Em7                   Am
Need         nothing else cause when we’re dead

            C      G       
We would’ve had it all and


G   G/F#  Em              Em7          Am
 I        would’ve fallen from the sky to you

                C      G
Parachutes have opened now


Verse:

G                            Am
Heaven knows if there’s a ceiling


Come so low with the kneeling

*(see below)     D G
Please know that I got all the friends I’m needing

G7              C  
Before my light goes out

       Adim           Bb
As the doors are closing now

    G7            C           
And far away will be my home

       Adim             Bb
And to grasp this, I don’t know

    Bb+
But I don’t 


Chorus:

G    G/F#  Em         Em7               Am                 C    G
Need          further back and forth, a wave will break on me today

     G   G/F#  Em                   Em7           Am
And love       Wish the world would glow again with love

                  C      G
One can’t seem to have enough

    G  G/F#  Em                Em7             Am
And war      break the sky and tell me what it’s for

                   C    G        
I’ll travel there on my own

     G  G/F#  Em        Em7                Am               C         G
And love         what a different life had I not found this love with you
