they need someone to say something to help them cope

or someone to say something hopeful

C
and you would be right

because I went downhill at such steep incline
Am
that my rearview mirror showed me only the sky

and I laughed about it all night

that the sky is what we leave behind?”

cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud

and I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
Verse 2:
F Bb
and you’re the one who taught me to be brave

Am Bb
and all your relatives are still on vacation

and does it mean anything

that you stayed in town?
