Capo on 3rd
  EmDistant flickering, Cgreener scenery.
  EmThis weather's bringing it Bmall back again.
  EmGreat adventures, Cfaces and condensation.
EmI'm going outside to Bmtake it all in.
  EmYou say too late to start, got your heart in a Cheadlock,
EmI don't believe Bmany of it.
  EmYou say too late to start, with your heart in a Cheadlock,
EmYou know you're Bmbetter than this.
EmWe're a different pair, do something out of step.
CThrow a stranger an Bmunexpected smile
EmWith big intentions Still posted at your station.
CAlways on about the Bmday it should have flied.
  EmYou say too late to start, got your heart in a Cheadlock,
EmI don't believe Bmany of it.
  EmYou say too late to start, with your heart in a Cheadlock,
EmYou know you're Bmbetter than this.
  EmAfraid to start, got your heart in a Cheadlock,
EmI don't believe Bmany of it.
  EmYou say too late to start, with your heart in a Cheadlock,
EmYou know you're Bmbetter than this.
  EmBeen walking, you've been hiding,
CAnd you look half Bmdead half the time.
  EmMonitoring you, like machines do,
CYou've still got it, I'm just Bmkeeping an eye
  EmBeen walking, you've been hiding,
CAnd you look half Bmdead half the time.
  EmMonitoring you, like machines do,
CYou've still got it, I'm just Bmkeeping an eye
