1. LIFE ON EARTH
No capo.
B- F#m- A- Bx2
BThe first snow
The first winter of F#mmy life

BThe first dance
Well, the first one that F#mcounted
Felt like my Ablood was built my from crackling Blights
BOh this ancient wF#mildness
That Awe don't undersBtand
The Bfirst sound of a F#mheartbeat
To Ariot roaring Bon
BThis is not love you had befF#more
This is something elseA
This is something elseB
BThis is not the same as other daysF#m
This is something elseA
This is something elseB
BShouldn't need to be so fucking harF#md
This is life on earthA
It's just life on earthB
BIt doesn't need to be the end of you, F#mor me
This is life on earthA
It's just life on earthB
BThe first light
The first light on the F#msilent shore
Just the Aships set anchor me and yoBu
BThe way home
This is always the way hoF#mme
So you can Arip that map to shreds, my deBar
But Ball we ever wF#manted
See Amiles and miles from Bhere
In the Bfirst days in a sF#mtrange new land
AWe could be sailBors
BThis is not love you had befF#more
This is something elseA
This is something elseB
BThis is not the same as other daysF#m
This is something elseA
This is something elseB
BShouldn't need to be so fucking harF#md
This is life on earthA
It's just life on earthB
BIt doesn't need to be the end of you, F#mor me
This is life on earthA
It's just life on earthB
B- F#m- A- Bx2

No capo
B E
BOoh, you wanted it too late
You wanted it too lEate now
I Bcan't keep track of all your tears
You're crying rivers Eway too long
BOoh, I'm tired of loneliness
And way more tired of Ewasted time
As I'm Bstill, you barely look alive
These sharks will do Eso much good
BJust keep your wits about you, Adon't let Eit end you
BAnd summon everything you've Aheld up Ein reserve
BDon't fall for every single Astolen gElance and wink
BTry to keep your heart on Ahigher Eshelves once
BWhat are you holding back
I know your wild horses Aon the inside of youE
(Stop holding back)
BNow slip the tattoo on
Serenity, its Agone from red to blueE
(Stop holding back)
BI'll make you of this love
And no you don't have time withAout itE
(Stop holding back)
BI know I don't know much
But I do know when to ApreachE
(Stop holding back)
B
BOoh, you wanted it to work
You wanted it to work Eso much
But Bit's been broken in your hands
The minute that it Efound your hands
BOoh, you're trying not to blink
And what you wanna Esee what is
BOoh, it hasn't finished you
It's only that it fEeels that way
BJust keep your wits about you, Adon't let Eit end you
BAnd summon everything you've Aheld up Ein reserve
BDon't fall for every single Astolen gElance and wink
BTry to keep your heart on Ahigher Eshelves once

BWhat are you holding back
I know your wild horses Aon the inside of youE

There was lightning then and those

Songs were [?] true
