[Verse 1]
G
 You see tonight,
             Bm
 it could go either way
D
 Hearts balanced on a
 A
razorblade
G
 We are designed to
 Bm
 love and break
       D
And to rinse and repeat
    A
 it all again

[Pre-Chorus]
G                   Bm
 I get stuck and the world's
 too loud
   D
And things don't look up,
             A
when you're going down
 G                  Bm
I know your arms are reaching
 out from
D                     A
 Somewhere beyond the clouds

[Chorus]
                G
You make me feel
        Bm
Like my troubled heart is a
 D              A
 million miles away
                G
You make me feel
         Bm
Like I'm drunk on stars and we're
 D                  A
 dancing out in the space
          G Bm D A
Celestial
          G Bm D A
Celestial
[Verse 2]
G
 You see the light shining
 Bm
through the rain
D
 A thousand colors in a
 A
brighter shade
G
 Needed to rise, from the
 Bm
lowest place
         D
There's a silver lining
         A
that surrounds the gray

[Pre-Chorus]
G
And I get lost, will it
Bm
 come back 'round?
D
 Things don't look up,
             A
when you're going down
 G
I know your arms,
         Bm
they are reaching out from
D                     A
 Somewhere beyond the clouds

[Bridge]
G                  Bm
 We were made to be nothing
 more than this
D                A
 Finding magic in all
the smallest things
G                       Bm
 Where we notice, that's what
really matters
     D                A
Let's make tonight go on and on

You make me feel

D                A
 Finding magic in all
the smallest things)

You make me feel

Let's make tonight go on and on)

[Chorus]
                G
You make me feel
        Bm
Like my troubled heart
      D              A
is a million miles away
                G
You make me feel
         Bm
Like I'm drunk on stars and
       D                  A
we're dancing out in the space
          G Bm D A
Celestial,     ohhh
          G Bm D A
Celestial,     ohhh
          G
Celestial (We were made to be
Bm
 nothing more than this)

Ohhh (Finding magic in all
the smallest things)
