[Verse 1]
                   Dm                  Gm                         F   Bbmaj7(Am7)
Somewhere out of the ashes I fall into you and I know
                  Dm             Gm                     F      E7(Am7)
Oh deep down in the end I always knew I'd let you go
     Bbmaj7(F)                Gm(F)   Dm(Am7)  Bbmaj7(Am7)
I cover the ocean seeking water for you, only you
              Bbmaj7(F)          Gm(F)  Dm(Am7)   Gm(stop)
Drowned and then swam to the shore for you, only you
[Chorus]
                                            Dm(riff)
But then I found it was a trick of the light
Just somebody who was catching my eyeGm  
                                         Dm(riff)
But then I found it was a trick of the light
When your shadow came into my Gmsight
[Verse 2]
                 Dm                          Gm     F   Bbmaj7(Am7)
Somehow in the end I always knew I'd let you go
             Dm                Gm                F      E7(Am7)
I forgot the inside of my soul was paved with gold
               Bbmaj7(F)                Gm(F)   Dm(Am7)        Bbmaj7  
I'm buried alive with my heart by my side for you, only you
(Am7)          Bbmaj7(F)                  Gm(F)       Dm(Am7)   Gm  
Set fire to my soul, but still left me cold for you, oh, only you
[Chorus]
                                         Dm(riff)
But then I found it was a trick of the light
Just somebody who was catching my eyeGm  
                                          Dm(riff)
But then I found it was a trick of the light
When your shadow came into my Gmsight
[BRIDGE] (Scatting)

But then I found it was a trick of the light
Just somebody who was catching my eyeGm  
                                          Dm(riff)
But then I found it was a trick of the light
When your shadow came into my Gmsight
