(verse)
    C/G               Em       Am7             Em
How tides control the sea  and what becomes of me
    Fmaj7             Dm               Am7         Am7
How little things can slip out of your hand
    C/G          Em         Am7            Em
How often people change  no two remain the same
    Fmaj7               Dm              Am7        Am7
Why things don't always turn out as you planned
Fmaj7                 Dm           Am7        Am7
These are things that i don't understand
     Fmaj7                 Dm           Am7      Am7
Yeah these are things that i don't understand

(chorus 1)
  Dm                  Em
I can't (and i can't) decide
Am                       Fmaj7
Wrong (oh my wrong) from right
Dm                   Em
Day (oh my day) from night
Am                     Fmaj7
Dark (oh my dark) from light
  Dm                     Em      Am7         Em
I love (but i love) this life

(verse)

    C/G         Em         Am7              Em
How infinite is space  and who decides your fate
    Fmaj7           Dm            Am7        Am7
Why everything will dissolve into sand
    C/G      Em            Am7               Em
How to avoid defeat  where truth and fiction meet
    Fmaj7        Dm               Am7        Am7
Why nothing ever turns out as you planned
Fmaj7                 Dm           Am7       Am7
These are things that i don't understand
     Fmaj7                 Dm           Am7       Am7
Yeah these are things that i don't understand

(chorus 2)
  Dm                  Em
I can't (and i can't) decide
Am                       Fmaj7
Wrong (oh my wrong) from right
Dm                   Em
Day (oh my day) from night
Am                     Fmaj7
Dark (oh my dark) from light
  Dm                     Em      Am7
I love (but i love) this life
