[Verse 1]
F#m E F#m E

[Verse 1]
F#m                                                 E
Slowly we are falling through the cracks
F#m                                         E
It just feels like something we regret
F#m                                         E
Don’t know what to do and how to act
B                                         B
Out of my means or that’s our feels
F#m                                         E
Lately we’ve been covered by the past
F#m                                         E
But don’t you think that we are made to last?
F#m                                                             E
Rather than just stumbling in the dark
B                                         G#
In the dark, in the dark (jo)

[Chorus]
C#m                     G#                     B                                         E
Oh when we get old mama, we think it was no drama
C#m                                         G#                     B                     E
Cos when we would know, it was better letting it go
C#m                                         G#                     B                     E
Why couldn’t it be just a little more easy to see, darling?
C#m                     G#                                         B                     E
That would’ve been all, would’ve been all we needed to know

[Verse 2]
F#m                                         E
Sun is up the hillside, I was being blue-eyed
F#m                                                             E
Seas on the no time, trouble on the inside
F#m
So far we’ve been trying to see the light
E
So hard, listen it was totally bright
B
Surely right, feelings tight
B
Thinking of the call on my mind, saying
F#m                                                             E
Oh what, why is everything so messed up?
F#m
Anyway we made it so far
E
What are we tasting true love?
How does it feel like
F#m
Remedy, so economically
E
As strong as the force of your fantasy
B G#
Or am I more? It’s gonna be a mystery
