It was you who floated above us all
I held on with wires
Will you come back down if I let you go?

Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain
Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain
Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain
Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain



Note:

Nathan plays the chorus live that way



e|---4-----0--0----|
B|---5--3--0--0----|
G|---6--4--9--8----|
D|---6--5--x--x----|
A|---4--5--7--6----|
E|-----------------|


and just every second time simply c#m A E B

just playing c#m A E B all the time sounds also right..... so you can decide which way to play it ;)
