Intro -x2-: Ebadd9 Bb Dm Gm

Verse 1:
Ebadd9               Bb
a million miles to a cemetery
   Dm                 Gm
a flower across your chest
Ebadd9                  Bb
a tear on a smile as you pray to a sky
        Dm                   Gm
But it won't bring back your breath
           Ebadd9                  Bb
You know it isn't the love that you wish for
             Dm                 Gm
That you were misinformed as a child
           Ebadd9                     Bb
'Cause everything in those beautiful stories
    Dm                 Gm
Was only a part of the lie
                Ebadd9                    Bb
That told you every tongue that you kissed was a royal
       Dm                         Gm
And you know that your godmother flies
           Ebadd9  Bb
And it all seems so important
            Dm              Gm
'Til you're drifting off at night

Chorus:
        Ebadd9                  Bb
And the weight of your eyes and your face when you cry
            Dm                  Gm
Make the days you were young seem ages ago
        Ebadd9                  Bb
If you could stay, would you go?
            Dm                  Gm
If you could stay, would you go?

Interlude -x2-: Ebadd9 Bb Dm Gm

Post-Chorus:
Ebadd9  Bb
Four-by-four
               Dm         Gm
You build your own life story
           Ebadd9     Bb
Build your own life story
         Dm         Gm
Build your own

Interlude -x2-: Ebadd9 Bb Dm Gm

Verse 2:
   Ebadd9             Bb
a million miles and a year went by
        Dm                  Gm
And you still can't find your breath
     Ebadd9               Bb
Your tears went dry as you pray to a god
        Dm                  Gm
But he won't bring back the dead
          Ebadd9               Bb
And it was never a love that you wished for
     Dm                  Gm
Even when you were just a child
          Ebadd9               Bb
'Cause you knew everything in the stories
        Dm           Gm
Were only a part of a lie

Chorus:
        Ebadd9                  Bb
And the weight of your eyes and your face when you cry
            Dm                  Gm
Make the days you were young seem ages ago
        Ebadd9                  Bb
If you could stay, would you go?
            Dm                  Gm
If you could stay, would you go?

Post-Chorus:
Ebadd9  Bb
Four-by-four
               Dm         Gm
You build your own life story
           Ebadd9     Bb
Build your own life story
         Dm         Gm
Build your own

Ebadd9  Bb
Four-by-four
               Dm         Gm
You build your own life story
           Ebadd9     Bb
Build your own life story
         Dm         Gm
Build your own
