Song:
Intro 2x
Start strumming C
C F
I take a breath
C G
And hold the air until there's nothing left
C F
I'm feeling green
C G
Like teenage lovers between the sheets
Intro 2x (While singing — Strum C in between both times)
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
C F
Knuckles clenched to white
C G
As the landing gear retract for flight
C F
My heads a balloon
C G
Inflating with the altitude
Intro 2x (While singing — Strum C in between both times)
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
C F
I watch the patchwork farm's
F C
Slow fade into the ocean's arms
C F
And from here they can't see me stare
F C
The stale taste of recycled air
C G Em
I watch the patchwork farm's
Em F C
Slow fade into the ocean's arms
C G Em
Calm down release your cares
Em F C
The stale taste of recycled air
Intro 1x
the end.
