De akkoorden in dit nummer
[Intro] C [Verse 1] G Fm C You were born, inside of a raindrop, and I watched you falling, to your death G Fm C And the sun, well she could not save you, she’d fallen down too, now the streets are wet G Fm C Body of water, toxic and timeless, Atlantic Ocean, New York skyline G Fm C I always get lost, when I leave the village, so I couldn't come meet you, in Brooklyn last night [Bridge] G Fm Em C But I sing glory from my lowest, and I will say peace to the people I meet G Fm C Fm C While the world waits for an explosion, that instant of life, that wipes the slate clean [Chorus] Am G Am So don't be fooled, G Em Am D G no don’t get lied to, love was always cruel Am G Don't act strange, Am G Em Am D G don’t be a stranger, it happened to me, now it’s happening to you Fm But if you take that train under water then we could talk it through [Instrumental] C G Fm C x2 [Verse 2] G Fm C Well if I could tame, all of my desires, wait out the weather, that howls in my brain G Fm C Because it seems, that it's always changing, the wind's indecision, the sorrowful rain G Fm C Yeah, I was a postcard, I was a record, I was a camera, until I went blind G Fm C And now I'm riding, all over this island, looking for something, to open my eyes [Bridge] G Fm C But I still sing glory from my highrise, and I will say thanks, if you're pouring my drinks G Fm C While the world waits for an explosion, that moment in time, when we’ll be set free [Chorus] Am G So don't stay mad, Am G Em Am D G just let some time pass, and in the morning you'll wake feeling new Am G And if I don't come back, I mean, Am G Em Am D G if I get sidetracked, it’s only ‘cause I wanted to Fm I’m keeping up with the moon on an all-night avenue [Outro] C G Fm C x4
