Verse 1:
ADn optimist heart is connected to a pGessimist's mind
A Dglitch in the matrix we secretly lGong to find
VDictims remain victims because they bGehave like victims
I Ddon't know how love came through me, I Gwore a bulletproof vest
Pre-Chorus:
F#/                          B                                  A  G  
The building dances like jelly just before it falls on top of me
F#/                                           B                                 A  G  
The rubble shrouds my eyes with dust but is there light beyond there I can see?
F#/                        B                                 A  G  
Her fair hand touches all my poor weathered fingertips
Chorus:

And you are the greatest gift that life could ever give a man, a man like me
                   A   G(hold)
And I've been in hibernation for way too long
Verse 2:
SDeasonal affective drGunken disorder
LDet's hide away in a European lagoon Gsomewhere across the border
ID'll trade a kiss for a promise, a promise neGver cracked by dishonesty
Pre-Chorus 2: (same as before)
The building dances like jelly just before it falls on top of me
The rubble shrouds my eyes with dust but is there light beyond there I can see?
Her fair hand touches all my poor weathered fingertips
Chorus 2: (same, with some Ds at the end before Bridge)
And you are the greatest gift that life could ever give a man, a man like me
And I've been in hibernation for way too long
Bridge:
     G  F#/      B       C             D         G  F#/          B         C  
Come, take my hand, put on my coat, we'll shelter from rain
                    D       G  F#/       B       C  G  
Under my fairy oak tree, I'll keep you warm
DI’ll part with my heart for you
GI’ll part with my heart for you
Pre-Chorus 2: (same as before)
The building dances like jelly just before it falls on top of me
The rubble shrouds my eyes with dust but is there light beyond there I can see?
Her fair hand touches all my poor weathered fingertips
Chorus 2:
And you are the greatest gift that life could ever give a man, a man like me
And I've been in hibernation for way too long
