Capo on 5
AmWhy oh, why's the thought of sitting on a, 
the thought of sitting E7on a cloud so many miles away?
AmWhen my head's been innocently floating
in and oE7ut of time, and what is today?
DmKilling time is not what you want to worry aFbout, because it's nE7ever ending
DmThrow a hand out, save it for as long as you cFan, it'll be E7on your side
But IAm've been blindly starring out the window,
Staring out the wiE7ndow trying to see the colours collide
But tAmhey won't till I step into the sunlight and take a E7breath
Suddenly the clouds I want to sit on start moving aside
DmTo fix a problem you're never going to do it with eFyes, you're just wE7asting more time
DmTo make amends you have to mend, your hands will be Ffine
They're the perE7fect tool but...
CHORUS
AmNothing, nothing in the garden grE7ows 
without a little bit of cDmare and attention
I thFought I should mention, from hE7ere it seems that nobody knows
Woah, I found out I'm going under, found out I'm going under the waves that used to wave at me
I'm sure I used to think that they were friendly
Until they held me by the chest and filled my lungs with doubt
And said, "breathing's just a luxury we choose to give it out now!"
Let me go I'm sick of being drowned and staying alive, I'm not asking nicely
Cut the ties, close your eyes, take a breath you'll be fine, you can slip right under

Capo on 5

Why oh, why's the thought of sitting on a,

the thought of sitting on a cloud so many miles away?

When my head's been innocently floating

in and out of time, and what is today?

Dm F E7

Killing time is not what you want to worry about, because it's never ending

Dm F E7

Throw a hand out, save it for as long as you can, it'll be on your side

But I've been blindly starring out the window,

Staring out the window trying to see the colours collide

Am E7

But they won't till I step into the sunlight and take a breath

Suddenly the clouds I want to sit on start moving aside

Dm F E7

To fix a problem you're never going to do it with eyes, you're just wasting more time

Dm F

To make amends you have to mend, your hands will be fine

They're the perfect tool but...

CHORUS

Am E7

Nothing, nothing in the garden grows

without a little bit of care and attention

F E7

I thought I should mention, from here it seems that nobody knows

Woah, I found out I'm going under, found out I'm going under the waves that used to wave at me

I'm sure I used to think that they were friendly

Until they held me by the chest and filled my lungs with doubt

And said, "breathing's just a luxury we choose to give it out now!"

Let me go I'm sick of being drowned and staying alive, I'm not asking nicely

Cut the ties, close your eyes, take a breath you'll be fine, you can slip right under
