Verse 1:
Db                                                         Gb
Here's a complete list of everything I've ever been afraid of
                                                      Db
From the age of five to, oh, let's say just the other day
                                                           Gb
Maybe things I've misremembered, maybe things I've just forgot
                                                     Db
But as far as I can figure, this is pretty much the lot

Interlude: Db Gb

Pre-chorus:
                    Db                        Gb
Make of it what you will, make of it what you will!

Chorus:
             Db
'Cause it's: birds and heights and movie credits
                               Gb
Crowds and puppets, dying in a fire

Being washed right out to sea
                       Db
Losing all of my front teeth

Being buried half-alive
                        Gb
Bugs that burrow deep inside

Wild dogs, and things like that
                      Db
Domesticated mice and rats

Not all of them, just their feet
 (nc)
Or that my whole life could be sleep
Gb
Ferris-wheels and certain blues
                      Db
Oh, but mainly losing you

                   Gb
These days, mainly losing you

Interlude: Db Gb

Verse 2:
Db                                                             Gb
And here's a picture of the house I'd like to build for us someday
                                                     Db
This may seem unrealistic, I'm not very good with my hands
                                                      Gb
If we had to we could buy it, or keep renting like we do
                                                     Db
Borrow money from our parents, pool our money me and you

                                                           Gb
All we need's four walls to hold us, and a roof to keep us dry
                                                 Db
A bed big enough to sleep in as I roll around at night
                                                                 Gb
Keep us sheltered from the darkness, and the things that lurk outside
                                                             Db
And this growing sense of distance that keeps building in my mind

Interlude: Db Gb

Pre-chorus:

Keep us safe from:

Chorus:
Db
Birds and heights and movie credits

Crowds and puppets, dying in a fire

Being washed right out to sea
                       Db
Losing all of my front teeth

Being buried half-alive
                        Gb
Bugs that burrow deep inside

Wild dogs, and things like that
                      Db
Domesticated mice and rats

Not all of them, just their feet
                               Gb
Or that my whole life could be sleep

Ferris-wheels and certain blues
                      Db
Oh, but mainly losing you

Db                 Gb
These days, mainly losing you
                   Db
These days, mainly losing you!

Bridge:
    Ebm                                 Ab                                  Db
But if the night should fall, I know, I know we'll just keep reaching after all
                               Bbm                              Ebm
Keep on stretching towards the light and keep on staying up all night
                               Ab                             Db
And as we reach the end, we'll say, "There's gonna be another day"
                             Bbm                              Ebm
Keep on reaching towards the light and keep on staying up all night
                               Ab                             Db
And as we reach the end, we'll say, "There's gonna be another day!"

Crowds and puppets, dying in a fire

Being washed right out to sea

Losing all of my front teeth
