GShed me from the universe
GCarry me from life
It's been Cbeautiful to find this world
I'm Csure it will when it ends
GStep into the corners the darGker colder corners fit best
CHang me from the ceilings little Cmobile constellation lights
[Chorus]
When the wGar ends, yeGah
We'll wonder what Amit was aboutD  
And when we grGow old, yeGah
We'll all wonder Amhow we missed outD

[Verse 2]
GNo one will ever miss you so you Gknow that you'll not be missed
CCloser to the clouds than any Cpeople ever cared to see
GCloser to the mountains, woods, Goceans, and rivers and trees
CCloser to the soulful days that Ccounters all our evil ways
[Refrain]
I've got Amsoulful days to countDer evil ways
Will we nAmeed it?
Will we nDeed it?
