Song:

Intro 2x
Start strumming C

C            F
I take a breath
C                                G
And hold the air until there's nothing left
C              F
I'm feeling green
C                       G
Like teenage lovers between the sheets


Intro 2x (While singing - Strum C in between both times)
Ba Ba Ba Ba  Ba Ba Ba Ba   Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba


C                       F
Knuckles clenched to white
C                        G
As the landing gear retract for flight
C               F
My heads a balloon
C                   G
Inflating with the altitude


Intro 2x (While singing - Strum C in between both times)
Ba Ba Ba Ba  Ba Ba Ba Ba   Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba


C                      F
I watch the patchwork farm's
F                            C
Slow fade into the ocean's arms
C                                     F
And from here they can't see me stare
F                             C
The stale taste of recycled air
C        G                 Em
I watch the patchwork farm's
Em         F                  C
Slow fade into the ocean's arms
C          G               Em
Calm down release your cares
Em               F             C
The stale taste of recycled air


Intro 1x
