[Tab 1]

Little things that make up her life

Em Em A A

She read a tired pamphlet by a fire-starting freak

Campbells ice cubes, the drinks are unique

But everything is cool as long as you dare

Dm C Em Bm Bm Bm Bm

To bend a few taboos, to sacrifice pawns

Pockets filling up with gold

[Tab 1]

From the shades of his soul

[Verse]

Em Em A A

Lost in the panic that she typewrote

Em Em A A

Of lightbulbs that burn out in rain

Dm C Em Bm

And he saw his wife to be in someone

Dm C Em Bm Bm Bm Bm

But she couldn't see and she never cared

[Chorus]

Dm A

How small is your life?

Dm Dm

Is it too small to notice?

Dm A Em G

Is anywhere better than here?

Dm A Dm Dm

A journey inside a black and white postcard

Dm A Em G

Discover that colours were there

Dm Dm Dm Dm

...burning out

C C C C

Dm Dm Dm Dm

Bu...

C C C C

...rning out

[Chorus]

Dm A

How small is your life?

Dm Dm

You wait in the lobby

Dm A Em G

Is anywhere better than here?

Dm A

Too much control

Dm Dm

The top of the mountain

Dm A Em G

A farewell to elevate her

[Bridge]

Now shes going to sleep once again
