Dm , C, F, G, A#, C

F              Am                   Dm
If all this is easy and all that we need
               A#                   F  C
we’ve fallen behind, we’ve fallen behind
F                   Am                  Dm
you can dig all you like and make a big pile
                 A#                       F  C
and sing all the while, and sing all the while



Dm                C                          F
But you’re just a boy who strummed the right chord
Dm             C       F
and I’m just a boy who gave an ear
Am  A# Am      A#    F               C                     F
write, it’s alright, I’m shedding my skin instead of these tears




F          Am                Dm
Swimming alone and torn in between
          A#                  F   C
life in a dream or life on a string
F       Am                 Dm
living atop our own little hills
                A#                          F  C
perched for the kill, we’re perched for the kill



Dm                C                          F
and you’re just a boy who strummed the right chord
Dm             C       F
and I’m just a boy who gave an ear
Am  A# Am      A#    F               C                     F
write, it’s alright, I’m shedding my skin instead of these tears

If love was the light first seen at our birth
                 A#                      F   C
and then all the earth, and then all the earth

how can it fall so far behind

try to remind me, and I’ll try to remind
