[Am]Sinc[F]e yo[Am]ur b[F]rea[Am]thing[F],[Am][F]
[Am]is i[F]t all that[Am] a space ca[F]n fill?[Am][F]
So [Am]just by look[F]ing in[Am],
[F]I'll be loo[Am]king stil[F]l
[Dm]You find and follow [C]stor[G]ies well
You're [Am]naked [F]except for [Am]a newspa[F]per,
[Am]the headline [F]telling me
That for[Am]tun [F]e favours the [Am]brave[F]
[Am]I've been [F]known to be that [Dm]brave
What I [C]want is on it's [G]way [Dm]out
All I needed was an [C]easier
[G]way [Am]to stay
Walk[C]ing around

[Verse 2]
[G]the city as the lig[Am]ht fades
[C](is it all[G] that you[Dm] rema[Am]in?)
I'm [C]thinking [G]about each
[Dm]promise [Am]that I have [C]ever made

So [F]close the windows,
[Dm]keep the curta[E]ins shut forev[Am]er[G][F]
And if I need to re[Dm]member that the en
[E]tire Earth is out[Am]side [A5]this [Am]room
[G]So [F]close the windows,

[Verse 5]
Isn't it ro[Am]mantic, [F]to be roman[Am]tic
[F]When you don[Am]'t un
[F]derstand what you [Am]love
[F]Or if a wor[Am]d lik[F]e that
[Am]couls ever [F]mean anything
[Dm]When what you want is on
it's [C]way [G]out
[Am]I didn't [F]hear [Am]chee[F]rlead
[Am]ing for creat[F]ive [Am]writer[F] s
And your [Am]cheekbones [F]don't
[Am]taste [F]of [Dm]anything at all
[C]It's on [G]it's way out,
[Dm]it's just an easie[C]r wa[G]y to stay

[Verse 6]
[A5]Talk[Am]ing a[C]bout[G] a city that the light
[Am]made [C](is it all[G] that you[Dm] remain?)
It's [A]the same [A5]stor[Am]y
[C]that's been tol[G]d
But [Dm]it's been [Am]stor[A5] ies
[Am]that don't[C] fade[G]
I [Dm]know [Am]what

[Verse 7]
they will [C]never say,
[G]I kno[Dm]w wha[Am]t they will nev[C]er say[G]
