Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh

Only sound, only sound that you hear is no

You never saw it coming, slipped when you started running

And now you've come undone, I I I
A     
Seen you fall, seen you crawl on your knees, eh-eh

Your eyes, wider than distance   
Abm                   Gb    
This life is sweeter than fiction   


A
Just a shot, just a shot in the dark oh oh
E
All you got, all you got are you shattered hopes,
D
They never saw it coming, you hit the ground running
A
And now you're onto something, I I I say
A
What a sight, what a sight when the light came on

Proved me right, proved me right, when you prove them wrong
D
And in this perfect weather is like when don't remember
