[Intro]
|A |B C#m |E |F#m G#m |
 
 
[Verse 1] :10
A B C#m So, I looked it up but apparently
E F#m You can't really die from a broken heart
G#m A ABut I think I'll start a trend
B C#mAnd honestly, I naturally was
E F#m G#mOnly ever in it when it hit the limit
AAnd it started to end
 
 
[Chorus 1] :32
AI see a hook and I bite it
B C#m He told me to read, now I write it
E F#m G#m And every chapter you get further away
A I've been trying to fight it
B C#m But now it's broken, divided
E F#m E/G# And I don't understand, anything you say
AM7
When you say
 
 
[Instrumental] [Inaudible Chimpmonk sound] 0:52
|AM7 |B C#m |E |F#m7 G#m |
|AM7 |B C#m |E |F#m7 G#m | Oh-oh oh
 
[Verse 2] 1:14
AM7 AM7
It used to be something easy
B C#mBut now it's like, we can't reach
E And I know, it's a waste of scenery
F#m G#mTo break up on a beach
AM7
But, maybe, I can, make it worth it
B C#mIf I Am sincere,
E EThis is postcard picture perfect
F#m G#mAnd I wish I was here
 
 
[Chorus] 1:35
AM7 AM7
I..... see a hook and I bite it
B C#m He told me to read, now I write it
E And it's a poem
F#m E/G#It's a bird made of birds
A AAh-ah ah, I've been trying to fight it
B C#m E But now it's broken divided ah-ah ah,
E F#m E/G#And you've got bruises in the shape of my words
 
 
[Verse 3] 1:55
A B C#mSo one last number on a darker setting sun
E F#m E/G#Help me to remember when it was okay
A B C#mCome here, hold my hand, sink-ing through the sand
E F#m E/G#I don't under-stand anything you say
AWhen you say
 
 
[Instrumental] [Inaudible Chimpmonk sound] 2:18
|A |B C#m |E |F#m E/G# |
|A |B C#m |E |F#m G#m |
 
 
[Outro] 2:38
A B C#mOne last number on a darker setting sun
E F#m G#mHelp me to remember when it was okay
A B C#mCome here, hold my hand, sink-ing through the sand
E F#m G#mI don't under-stand anything you say
A*When you say (we say, ah-ah ah ohhh)
