Em G D
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em                                    G
i was sailing to find other stars in the ocean,
D
to find my face in their eyes.
Em                                        G
and my paper boat climbed all the way up to touch them,
D           Dm
to see them glow in the dark
Am                  Em      F                 Am         Em
to follow their stories, to let this beautiful lie come alive.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em                                         G
they were peeking behind other walls in the skyline
D
and laughing from above
Em                                    G
and I played all my music to get them closer,
D          Dm
to hold them in my arms.
Am                  Em      F              Am         Em
but we don't get to see them, we don't get to see them around.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                                   Am
but I know my words will bring them down
Em                                   A
but I know my words will bring them down
F                                   Am
but I know my words will bring them down
Em                                   D
but I know my words will bring them down

Em                                    G

Em                                   D

[Bridge]
 
Am

Dm
i want to see them alive
F
i want to see them alive

Em                                   D
but I know my words will bring them down
F                                   Am
but I know my words will bring them down
Em                                   D
but I know my words will bring them down
