I have ^F#maj7tried but it's ^B/F#hard to f^F#ight it ^F# I can't just ^F#maj7watch as it ^B/F#falls ap^F#art ^F# If we could ^F#maj7break the m^B/F#ould, make it ^F#in from the c^F#old Lose your ^F#maj7mind, never ^B/F#lose your h^F#eart ^F#

PRE-CHORUS 1:

I don't m^Ebind working hard for it I'll bend the h^F#ands 'til the space appears I'll move the p^Ebieces until we all fit F# Abm11 F#/Bb From near to far and from far to near

CHORUS 1:

And I ^Bsus2know that I'm going against the gr^F#ain Abm11 F#/Bb Bsus2 And I know this makes no sense Bsus2 F# Abm11 F#/Bb Bsus2 The changes I've tried to make, they make no differ - ence But I ^Bsus2know that I'll try ag^F#ain, although it's so h^Ebard H^F#ard, ^Bsus2hard

TRANSITION: F#maj7 - B/F# - F# - F# (x2) VERSE 2:

Given ^F#maj7time it'll ^B/F#finally f^F#ocus ^F# And in a ^F#maj7moment that's ^B/F#been and g^F#one ^F# And in the ^F#maj7afterglow, from my ^B/F#head to my s^F#oul ^F# I can ^F#maj7see all I ^B/F#have ign^F#ored ^F#

PRE-CHORUS 2:

And I don't m^Ebind working hard for it I'll bend the h^F#ands 'til the space appears I'll move the p^Ebieces until we all fit F# Abm11 F#/Bb From near to far and from far to near

CHORUS 2:

TRANSITION: F#maj7 - B/F# - F# - F# (x2) BRIDGE: C#7/Ab F#add9 If life's so short then we're wasting time C#/F F#add9 Love is the last thing on our minds C#7/Ab F#add9 C#/F C#/F It's so simple but so hard to see

And ^C#sus4you are not a^Ebm7lone in this S^Bbense of loss and l^B9oneliness C#7/Ab F#add9 C#/F C#/F Take your shoes off, run towards the sea

CHORUS 3:

TRANSITION: F#maj7 - B/F# - F# - F# (x2) OUTRO: F#/Bb Am6 F# I know the sun will keep on shining down

As l^Am6ong as you're around ^F#
