[Intro]
G Bm C

[Verse 1]
  G                    Bm
A lifetime startin' to feel like
                          C
It's fallin' short of the mark
                     C
But it's all that we got
      G               Bm
Every teardrop, every wrong turn
                   C
Made the moment we found
                 C
And it's comin' around, around,
around, around, around

[Chorus]
C                      Em
I don't wanna miss one thing
D                           C
We can turn the whole world down
                       Em
And listen to the in-between
           D             C
We are, we are the sound
There's nothin' but
                Em
the space we're in
    D                        C
The hurry and the noise shut out
     C
Just stay here and be right now

G Bm C

[Verse 2]
    G                    Bm
The shadows cling to the ceiling
                 C
And fracture the light
                  C
That lands in our eyes
      G                  Bm
Every moment changes the whole view
                 C
And just when it ends
           C
I feel it again, again,
again, again, again

[Chorus]
C                      Em
I don't wanna miss one thing
D                           C
We can turn the whole world down
                       Em
And listen to the in-between
           D             C
We are, we are the sound
There's nothin' but
                Em
the space we're in
    D                        C
The hurry and the noise shut out
     C
Just stay here and be right now

We can turn the whole world down
                       Em
And listen to the in-between
           D             C
