My very first chord... Enjoy :)
{Intro}
G  D  D  C
G  D  D  C
{Verse 1}
So we dGrive at the fate of this deep phoenix Emsky
With it's contents that keep me Calive
Incessantly Dbreathing through the Gnight
Till we Gcrash with the white caps that ride on our Embacks
Breaking down on the sand of this Cwestern coast
Where I Dnever once thought we would Gstand
{Pre-Chorus}
But here we are Dnow
Riding Emcurrents that Ctaste of a new Dtown
Feeling Ghigh as the Cnight's winding Ddown
And nEmow all I Ccan see are white Emstars they span foreDver
{Chorus}
GAs I lay by a Dstreetlight not a word I could possibly Csay
GTo explain my Dintrigue by how emphatic we are just to Cbe, 
Em  C  D  G  Em  C  D
just to Gbe
{Verse 2}
Now we Grun facing out at the southwestern Emsun
So content to be all so Cundone
Cause here in these Dmoments we have Gwon
And I'm Gsure that I've imagined these sites
But I Emforget why I was never enticed to go Cout and try
But Dtonight dream becomes Glife
{Pre-Chorus}
Cause here we are Dnow
Riding Emcurrents they Ctaste of a new Dtown
We're so Ghigh as the Cnight's winding Ddown
Just a Emspot on the Cmap of this lEmand it spans forDever
{Chorus}
GAs I lay by a Dstreetlight not a word I could possibly Csay
GTo explain my inDtrigue by how emphatic we are just to bCe
{Bridge}
And I Emwont Dtake a Cminute for Ggranted
I Emwont Dwaste another CwordG  
These Emstreets I would Dkill to be Clost in
G  D  D  C
G  D  D  C
GI lay by a Dstreetlight as the summer air soaks in my Clungs
GCause I lay by a Dstreetlight
How Dimpressive are we just to Clive and breathe in this GworldD  
And how Dlucky am I to be Cso alive in this GworldD  
Oh how Dprecious are we just to Csimply be in this Gworld
