Intro: F A Bb C F Verse 1: F A The thrill here is quicker than you'd think Bb The way some jet-lagged bar kept pouring the wine F C From over their heads then sit back down again F A Four times is once too much for luck Bb And that's how many times the clock struck F C I wandered home, saying your name Interlude: D F D Verse 2: F A The arches here were built 'cause they don't fall Bb The cathedrals to make you feel small F C You might find your small soul F A Leave the preaching to the president The crowd cheers, his eyes get wet Bb I'm full as it is, I'm full as it is F C So don't feed me more Chorus 1: A Bb F You'll be having my head, big as a birthday A Bb F C 'Cause I left all my doubts on the airplane D F C I didn't know, I didn't know I'm not in control D F I didn't know, I'm not invincible Instrumental: F A Bb C F Verse 3: F A And maybe some things are better left unsaid Bb F C But if you wanted to test that, well, yeah, I guess, I could've said F A But there were nights in bars that I recall Bb Your breath was courage laced with alcohol F C You leaned in, you said, Chorus 2: A Bb F "Make music with the chatter in here, A Bb F C And whisper all the notes in my ears." D F C I didn't know, I didn't know the weight of my tongue D I didn't know, I didn't know what I'd done Bridge: C (2 bars) A (2 bars) F (2 bars) C (2 bars) A (2 bars) C (1 bar) F( 1 bar) A (2 bars) C (2 bars) Verse 4: F A The lights here are softer than you'd think Bb The dim lit peacocks in the trees, F C They're hiding their eyes and their beauty, like me F A But if my eyes were on my back Bb I know what I'd be looking at F C Through every shade of brown and green Outro: D F C I didn't know, I didn't know it was nothing new D F I didn't know, I didn't know it was you This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
