[Csus4] [C] [Gsus4] [G]
[Csus4] Back when I used to [C]wander,[Csus4] I was always out [C]looking for [G]signs
[Csus4] But they were never [C]there, so I'd pull 'em from the [G]air[Gsus4][G5]
Csus4 C Csus4 riff
We all believed in something, but like you I can't say why
[Csus4] It's just a whisper in our [C]ear, or a bottle for our [Gsus4]fears[G]
[Am] Hold me to the [F]light, let me[C] shine
[G]Come hold me against the [Am]floor, and [F]say it's al[C]right
[G]Come hold me 'neath the [Am]water's [Em]skin, till I'm [F]new ag[G]ain[Gsus4][G5]
[Csus4] I said what I was [C]thinking[Csus4], now you can't see what's [C]good till it's [G]gone
[Csus4] Then there's something to be [C]said, for a place to lay your [G]head[Gsus4][G5]
Csus4 C Csus4 riff
You told me I was simple, and you envied me that piece of mind
[Csus4] And I listened to the [C]creek, and it did much more for [Gsus4]me[G]
[Am] I'll hold you to the [F]light, let yo[C]u shine
I'll [G]hold you against the [Am]floor, and [F]say it's al[C]right
'cause [G]down beneath the [Am]water's [Em]skin, where [F]we will [G]swim
There's diamonds on the [Am]surface [Em]then, and they'll come [F]clean us
(We'll) both live [G]again[Gsus4][G5]
Csus4 C Csus4 riff
These days I barely wander, and I don't need no more of them signs
Csus4 C G (strum)
I just breathe in all that air, and be happy that it's there
