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

Your eyes, wider than distance

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