Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Em][C][Em]
[C][Em][C][Em]
[C][C]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Gold light breaks behind the houses
[C]I don't see what's strange about this
[Em]Tiny bubbles hang above me
[G]It's a sign that someone loves me
[Am]I can hardly stand upright
[C]Hit my head upon the light
[Em]I have faith but don't believe it
[G]It's not there enough to leave it
[Am]Everything I love is on the [C]table
[Em]Everything I love is out to [G]sea

[Verse 2]
[Am]I have only two emotions
[C]Careful fear and dead devotions
[Em]I can't get the balance right
With [G]all my marbles in the fight
[Am]I see all the ones I went for
[C]All the things I had it in for
[Em]I won't cry until I hear
'Cause [G]I was not supposed to be here
[Am]Everything I love is on the [C]table
[Em]Everything I love is out to [G]sea

[Chorus 1]
I'm not a[F]lone
I'll never [Am]be
And to the [C]bone
I'm ever[F]green

[Verse 3]
[Am]I'm tired, I'm freezing, I'm dumb
When it [C]gets so late
I forget everyone
[Em]I need somewhere to stay
[G]Don't think anybody I know is awake
[Am]Calm down, it's alright
[C]Keep my arms the rest of the night
[Em]When they ask, what do I see?
I say a [G]bright white beautiful

[Interlude 1]
heaven hanging over me
[Am]Ah[C]
[Em]Ah-ah-ah[G]

[Chorus 2]
I'm not a[F]lone
I'll never [Am]be
And to the [C]bone
I'm ever[F]green
And if you want (too seriously)
To see me [Am]cry (don't swallow the cap)
Play "Let It [C]Be" (pat yourself on the back)
Or "Never[F]mind" (too seriously)

[Verse 4]
There's a [Am]time to leave, there's a
time to [G]think about
[C]What I wanna say to the girls at the [Dm]door
[Em]I need somewhere to be[F]
But I [G]can't get around the river in front of me
[Am]Calm down, it's alrigh[G]t
[C]Lead my arms the rest of the [Dm]night
[Em]When they ask, what do I [F]see?
I say a [G]bright white beautiful heaven

[Interlude 2]
hanging over me
[Am]Ah[C]
[Em]Ah-ah-ah[G]

[Chorus 3]
I'm not a[F]lone (too seriously)
I'll [Dm]never [Am]be (don't swallow the cap)
and to [Bm]the b[C]one
(pat yourself on the back)
I''m ever[F]green (too seriously)
And if you want (too seriously)
To see me [Am]cry (don't swallow the cap)
Play "Let It [C]Be" (pat yourself on the back)
Or "Never[F]mind" (too seriously)

[Outro 1]
[F][G][Am][G][C][Dm]
[F][G][Am][G][C][Dm]
