[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Blue
and you lean on me
You know that you're crushing me
[G]You[D]'re sulking and I
can not breathe
You're [G]sitted in the cloud
[D]s
You're building a well cross the light
An unusual nightmare for me
[Dsus4][D][C][D]

[Verse 2]
[D][C]
Col[D]lecting dead rainbows
From puddles on my hills
Taken home to warm by [G]the fire
[D]The flower's in bloom
It will never expire
It's [G]just [D]coming round [G]again[D]
I'm tearing [G]my heart

[Verse 3]
[C]from the seams
I keep tearing my heart on the seams
[Dm]But I'll k[F]eep

[Verse 4]
[G]pushing you 'cause
I know just where you've gone
Yeah I'll be pushing you till
it's too far to get back home
Will put my soul on stride
'Cause at the speed of light

[Interlude 1]
I can do what I like
[D][C]

[Verse 5]
[D]Blue when you lean on me
You know that you're crushing me
[G]You[D]'re sulking but
still I can breathe
You're sitted in [G]the clouds
[D]You're building a well cross the light
Say [G]by [D]an unusual daydreaming way
I'm tearing [G]my heart

[Verse 6]
[C]from the seams
I keep tearing my heart at [Dm]the seams

[Verse 7]
But I keep [G]pushing you 'cause I know
just where you've gone
Yeah I'll keep pushing you till
it's too far to get back home
Will put my soul on stride
'Cause at the speed of light

[Interlude 2]
I can do what I like
[D][Dsus4][G][F]
[G][D][G][D][C][G]
[D][Dsus4]
[G]Yeah I'll be

[Verse 8]
loving you like it's all
I've ever known
Yeah I'll be giving up till it's
too far to get back home
I put my heart on stride
'Cause at the speed of light
I can be out of sight

[Verse 9]
Yeah I'll be [G]loving you like it's
all I've ever known
Yeah, I'll be loving you till
it's too far to get back home
Will [Dm]put my [G]soul on stride
'Cause at the speed of light
I can do what I [Gm]like...[G]
