[Verse 1]
We're in the rGain, in outer Cadd9space
And I can't A7sus4fathom an explanation for what we're Cadd9doing in this place
Now your Ghair clings to your Cadd9cheek
I brush it A7sus4aside ever so gently, thank you for Cadd9being here for me
[Chorus]
Em7It's not Cadd9easy staying Gclean, wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen
Em7It feels like I'm Cadd9slipping behind a screen Gof nighlights and suicidal tendencies
Em7It's not Cadd9easy feeling cold Glike burning numb hands under a water stream
Em7Wouldn't it be Cadd9nice to be evergreen

G
[Verse 2]
We're in the Gsnow, under the milky Cadd9way
And no A7sus4matter how hard I try to, I can't Cadd9possibly explain
My shaking Ghands and my breakinCadd9g bones
There's nothing like A7sus4whispers in your mind to keep you Cadd9aware that you're alone
[Chorus]
Em7It's not Cadd9easy staying Gclean, wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen
Em7It feels like I'm Cadd9slipping behind a screeGn of nighlights and suicidal tendencies
Em7It's not Cadd9easy feeling cold Glike burning numb hands under a water stream
Em7Wouldn't it be Cadd9nice to be evergreenG  
Em7(Wouldn't it be Cadd9nice to be)G  
Em7(Wouldn't it be Cadd9nice to be)G  
[Bridge]
Cadd9In moments like this it's Ghard to breathe steadily
Cadd9The world is spinning and my Ghands shake uncontrollably
Dm7Life's a hair, one gentle Gblow and it could be gone
Dm7And I've never felt so Cadd9afraid
[Instrumental]
G Cadd9 A7sus4 Cadd9
[Verse 3]
We're on the Gearth, on solid Cadd9ground
Do you have A7sus4any idea how lucky you Cadd9are to be around
GYou're not alone, Cadd9please never forget
My A7sus4arms are your second Cadd9home

The story behind the song

Cavetown, the professional name of Robin Daniel Skinner, is known for blending indie rock, indie pop, and bedroom pop with gentle ukulele and guitar ballads. His musical journey began early, inspired by his father, a musicologist and choir director who taught him guitar at age eight, and his mother, a Baroque flautist. This background helped shape his distinctive sound. Playing this song can feel like stepping into a warm, introspective space.
