[Intro]
  A    Bm    D    G(x2)
A  Bm
[Verse]
Such magic Dthings Gdoes a bare heart Abring,
BmRare and fragile,
DCrumbling with the easiest Gpressure.
ASo with Bmgreat trepidationD  
I Glet in those words you Awrote,
A Bmgift from a similar BbstrangeAr.
[Interlude]
D  Bm  G  A
[Chorus]
ADoesn't it feel Bmgood to sing?D  
When you've Glost grip on everyAthing
Open your Bmchest, breathe it out on the Dfloor,
Or what Gwas any of this Afor?
What Bmhappened broke my Dheart
And I'm Gsure that it broke Ayours.
But if Bmyou can't feel alive from Dthis
What was any Gof it for?
[Interlude]
  A    Bm    D    G(x2)
[Verse]
AI may have seemed Bmdistant;D  
Like I Gwasn't on the Apage.
I showed my Bmbest side tonight
Now I'm Dcrossing over into the Ggrey space.
AKindly I Bmask you,D  
If we Gdidn't have these songs to Aplay
Would I Bmbe such an interesting Aparty
AOr just another unwelcome face?
[Chorus]
ADoesn't it feel Bmgood to sing?D  
When you've Glost grip on everyAthing
Open your Bmchest, breathe it out on the Dfloor,
Or what Gwas any of this Afor?
What Bmhappened broke my Dheart
And I'm Gsure that it broke Ayours.
But if Bmyou can't feel alive from Dthis
What was any Gof it for?
[Interlude]
D  A
[Bridge]
DYou can either write it or you can't
DBut you can't make demands
On a Amind with other plans.
The Bmhours that you spent
BmWith your will so bent
Won't Abring the moment back. (x2 before second part comes in)
DIt never was easy, even if the past now seems rosy.
AIt takes a little distance.
AYour perspective's grown oh so cozy.
BmSure it gets harder, sure it does.
AEverything's harder, when the children grow up
ATo get what they wanted. (repeat til end on D)

[Intro]

A Bm D G

(x2)

A Bm

[Verse]

D G A

Such magic things does a bare heart bring,

Rare and fragile,

D G

Crumbling with the easiest pressure.

A Bm D

So with great trepidation

G A

I let in those words you wrote,

Bm Bb A

A gift from a similar stranger.

[Interlude]

D Bm G A

[Chorus]

A Bm D

Doesn't it feel good to sing?

G A

When you've lost grip on everything

Bm D

Open your chest, breathe it out on the floor,

G A

Or what was any of this for?

Bm D

What happened broke my heart

G A

And I'm sure that it broke yours.

Bm D

But if you can't feel alive from this

What was any of it for?

[Interlude]

A Bm D G

(x2)

[Verse]

A Bm D

I may have seemed distant;

G A

Like I wasn't on the page.

I showed my best side tonight

D G

Now I'm crossing over into the grey space.

A Bm D

Kindly I ask you,

G A

If we didn't have these songs to play

Bm A

Would I be such an interesting party

Or just another unwelcome face?

[Chorus]

A Bm D

Doesn't it feel good to sing?

G A

When you've lost grip on everything

Bm D

Open your chest, breathe it out on the floor,

G A

Or what was any of this for?

Bm D

What happened broke my heart

G A

And I'm sure that it broke yours.

Bm D

But if you can't feel alive from this

What was any of it for?

[Interlude]

D A

[Bridge]

You can either write it or you can't

But you can't make demands

On a mind with other plans.

The hours that you spent

With your will so bent

Won't bring the moment back. (x2 before second part comes in)

It never was easy, even if the past now seems rosy.

It takes a little distance.

Your perspective's grown oh so cozy.

Sure it gets harder, sure it does.

Everything's harder, when the children grow up

To get what they wanted. (repeat til end on D)
