Hit the bass note before strumming each chord.
The rhythm stays the same throughout and the vocals almost have a spoken word feel sometimes so instead of
matching each word with a chord, I've matched the full line of vocals with one part of the progression.

Hit the bass note before strumming each chord.

The rhythm stays the same throughout and the vocals almost have a spoken word feel sometimes so instead of

matching each word with a chord, I've matched the full line of vocals with one part of the progression.

[Verse 1]

E E/D# C#m B

There's a song about a phase...

A G#m F# E

The accidental phase

E E/D# C#m B A G#m F# E

Of two moons lonely all the time

E E/D# C#m B

I defend June, when September turned her head

A G#m F# E

And 'new' was all that she said

[Chorus]

E E/D# C#m B

What in the world is going on

A G#m F# E

All we have to do is get along

E E/D# C#m B

When the dawn comes in through the night

A G#m F# E

I hide my face so you won't see me smile

E E/D# C#m B

(Bum, ba, ba, da dum)

A G#m F# E

I want to float like life has just begun

E E/D# C#m B A G#m F# E

Half a kiss leaves me cold

A G#m F# E

[Verse 2]

E E/D# C#m B

And the poor little flower who always get's picked

A G#m F# E

Fell from the stars, and told me this

E E/D# C#m B A G#m F# E

'The weight of the world is love, watching you watch me sinking too fast'

E E/D# C#m B A

'When the dawn comes in through the night, to be with you'

G#m F# E

'Sleep deep, love of mine'
