B
Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh   
Gb
Only sound, only sound that you hear is no
E
You never saw it coming, slipped when you started running
    B
And now you've come undone, I I I
B     
Seen you fall, seen you crawl on your knees, eh-eh   
Gb    
Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors fade

Wish I could make it better, someday you won’t remember

Your eyes, wider than distance   
Bbm                   Ab    
This life is sweeter than fiction   


B
Just a shot, just a shot in the dark oh oh
Gb
All you got, all you got are you shattered hopes,
E
They never saw it coming, you hit the ground running
B
And now you're onto something, I I I say
B
What a sight, what a sight when the light came on
Gb
Proved me right, proved me right, when you prove them wrong
E
And in this perfect weather is like when don't remember
