[Intro]
D A Bm G

[Verse 1]
                            D
Oh yeah, we've been in the rain
                            A
Been on the rocks, but we found
our way
                           Bm
We've ordered pizza to an aeroplane
Slept on the beach like
          G
we were castaways
                    D
We've been in the storm
                          A
Been to an Irish bar in central
Rome
                          Bm
Driven to hospitals with broken
bones
We've shared a toothbrush
      G
and shared our home

[Pre-Chorus]
                D
We've seen the moon reflect
on the rollin' tide
            A
Been up at 5AM, watchin'
the sunrise
             Bm
Becausе the world looks better
whеn I'm by your side
   G
Oh I, oh I, oh I

[Chorus]
                  D
When you and I collide
                 A
You bring me to life
                       Bm
Yeah, you bring me to life
                 G
You bring me to life
                  D
When you and I collide
                 A
You bring me to life
                       Bm
Yeah, you bring me to life
                 Bb
You bring me to life

[Verse 2]
                   D
We've been on the road
We've watched the blossom
         A
fall to Earth like snow
                        Bm
Fumbled in cubicles in Tokyo
                          G
And been to funerals in rented
clothes

[Pre-Chorus]
                     D
Mmm, we drank your father's
whiskey when your grandma died
               A
You brought me to the morning
through my darkest night
          Bm
Yeah the world hurts less when
I'm by your side
   G
Oh I, oh I, oh I

[Chorus]
                  D
When you and I collide
                 A
You bring me to life
                 Bm
You bring me to life
                 G
You bring me to life
                  D
When you and I collide
                 A
You bring me to life
                      Bm
Yeah, you bring me to life
                 Bb
You bring me to life

We made love in the sky
                           A

lights
You lost your wedding ring

                            G
Cause I got a feeling baby we'll
be fine
