[Verse 1]
GLarry call a load of smoke in
I wanna lose a couple days
EmWe've probably never struggled coping but I never want to
GPromise again that I would call her
Forget the time cos' I'm 7 hours behind
EmIt's probably good I didn’t call though (But I always want to)
[Chorus]
CI’d beg Emyou but you Dknow I’m never home
CI'd love Emyou but I need another Dyear alone
CI've tried Emto ignore it Devery time you phone
CBut I never come closeEm  D  
GI don’t think through things
I never get time
EmCos' I don’t think things through
[Verse 2]
GLarry call a load of smoke in
I wanna disappear for days
EmWe've probably never struggled sleeping but I never want to

Song 7: Oxygon-------Capo4---|
[Verse 1]
She's got her Amown, trajectory
She leaves my heart, 11 degrees
I see her eGyes, reflecting me
I see her Flifestyle, affecting me
And I go Amround, I lose a night
She tends to obfuscate, when it’s black and white
It’s like she Gputs love, to the back of her mind
Then rips it Fout again, and she’s back at mine
Am
[Chorus]
She said
C“Oxygen’s overrated, I don’t even need to breathe”
She’s got a tFank full of highs, and a Gmind that never sleeps
[Verse 2]
I loved you Amthen, I love you now
So make me laugh, for an hour
Then rip me Goff, high as a cloud
And leave a Ftaste, in my mouth
Am
[Chorus]
She said
C“Oxygen’s overrated, I don’t even need to breathe”
She’s got a tFank full of highs, and a Gmind that never sleeps
She said
C“Oxygen’s overrated, I don’t even need to breathe”
She’s got a tFank full of highs, and a Gmind that never sleeps
Am Am F G
[Chorus]
She said
C“Oxygen’s overrated, I don’t even need to breathe”
