Verse 1:
                                 F
but that’s just something people say
                       Am
when they’re on their last leg and
            Bb                     F
they need someone to say something to help them cope
    Bb                      Am
or someone to say something hopeful
              F
I hope you’re ok
                               Am
but thats just something people say
          Bb
and if I meant every word that I ever said
            F
you would probably question the life I have led
      Bb                                C
you’d probably think I’m an evil broken person
                        C
and you would be right
 
Chorus 1:
        F
because I went downhill at such steep incline
            Am
that my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
    Bb                   Bbm
and I laughed about it all night
            F
and I said “hey man, isn’t it poetic
          Am
that the sky is what we leave behind?”
                Bb
cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud
          C
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            F          C
I’ve never spent a moment loving anyone but you
                Bb                         F
and maybe that’s just something that people say
        Bb                           F
but I hope that you know it’s the truth
 
Chorus 2:
        F
because I went downhill at such steep incline
     Am
that my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
    Bb
and I laughed about it all night
 
Verse 3:
         F                         Am
because you were the first one to show me the stars
                Bb
and they don’t mean much to me
              Bb
but I still wonder where you are
    F                          Bb
and some nights I still try to find you
   Am              Bb
relative to constellations
                Am                      Bb
and all your relatives are still on vacation
          C
or so I heard from a friend
             F           C
and does it mean anything
         Bb
that you stayed in town?
probably not
 
Chorus 3:
        F
because I went downhill at such steep incline
            Am
that my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
        Bb
and I laughed about it all night
            F
and I said “hey man, isn’t it poetic
          Am
that the sky is what we leave behind?”
            Bb
cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud
            C
and I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
 
Outro:
 F
hey man, isn’t it poetic
          Am
that the sky is what we leave behind?
                Bb
cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud
            C
and I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
 
F
