Am C

With your eyes closed

F G

Watching a strange show

F G

Play out in your head

F G

But you were smiling somehow

Am C

And your day froze

F G

And everyone in it

F G

Sat still as a rose

F G

But you were moving somehow.

F G

Back to when we started

Am C

Losing who we were

F G

maybe we should only

tip a bottle back

G F

to keep us filled up.

Back to when we started

Am C

losing who we were

F G

everybody knows that

you'd break your neck

G F

to keep your chin up.

Am G

Open your eyes.

Am C

and the drops come

F G F

in a snailrace down to your neck

and look up

F G

but you were smiling somehow.

Back to the chorus for the rest of the song, end on the F chord.
