[INTRO]
E A
[VERSE 1]
E A E* D
The gravity here is just sick for revenge
C#m D E*
It's like my lungs are filled with chains
The sky Aseems so low it hasn't Dmoved this slow
Since the Avirgin, since the Dvirgin went dancing for the Erain
E* A E* D
You know the stars in the night, they're like the holes in the cave
Or like the C#mceiling, like the Dceiling of a bombed-Eout church
But gravity Ablocks my screams it's like an Denemy's dreams
My guardians Aquit, they Dquit before they started their Esearch
[CHORUS]
E* A E*
I want a world without gravity
It could Abe just what I BneAedB, Awhat I Eneed
I'd watch the stars move close, I'd watch Aoh, I'd watch the earth reBcede
[VERSE 2]
E* A E* D
I wanna drift above the borders against my will
I wanto to C#msleep I wanna Dsleep where the angels Edon't pass
But now my Alips are blue gravity Ddoes it to you
It's like they're Apressed, like they're pressed Dagainst a mirrored Eglass
E* A E* D
I want my will and capability to meet inside the region
Where this C#mgravity, this Dgravity don't Emean a thing
It's where the Aangels break through. it's where they Dbring it to you
It's where Asilence, sDilence can teach me Eto sing
[CHORUS]
E* A E*
I want a world without gravity
It could Abe just what I B A B Aneed
E* A B
I'd watch the stars move close, I'd watch oh yeah I'd watch the earth recede
