[Intro]
Dm C Dm Bb Dm F Bb
[Verse 1]
DmThey were taking Csmall pains
To not Fmake him reaBblize
DmMade him feel he's Fdifferent
BbThrough and through
A Dmmonster in his Cown way
CommuniFcative quaranBbtine
DmUnleashed on the Cworld without a Bbclue
[Pre-Chorus]
EbSurrounded by the Gmghosts of paling Dmpictures
They Ebcome Dmand slip aCwayF  
DbVivid memories roll and spin
EbIf only they would suck me in
[Chorus]
FWe're going up like fire in
Just the Cblink between the Fdream
And the memories and the Bbembers
Of what we'd Dmhoped it all would Cbe
Breathing Fodour of lavender
And it's all Ccoming back to meDm  
Wish I Fdidn't fail to say Bbthose
Words Dmbefore you'd have to Cleave
BbA soul, a storm, a journey across the waves
[Verse 2]
DmHere I stand and Csurvey
What the FFather's cast Bbmy way
DmA wind got up to Cbode times of Bbchange
I Dmclose the door Cbehind me
Know the Fday break is too Bbfar
DmMe and who I Cwas, alone, esBbtranged
[Pre-Chorus]
EbSurrounded by the Gmscent invoking Dmpictures
EbGone and Dmyet so CclearF  
DbVivid memories roll and spin
EbIf only they would suck me in
[Chorus]
FWe're going up like fire in
Just the Cblink between the Fdream
And the memories and the Bbembers
Of what we'd Dmhoped it all would Cbe
Breathing Fodour of lavender
And it's all Ccoming back to meDm  
Wish I Fdidn't have to see Bbnow
What back Dmthen I didn't Csee
BbA soul, a storm, a journey across the waves
[Bridge]
The Ccrazy Dmpart ain't Bbdreaming, Dmwishing on a Cfalling starBb  
CIt's the Dmworld that's in beBbtween the Ccope and Fyou
I Cclose my Dmeyes and see a Bbmagic world in Csepia
That Ccast me Dmout onto a Bbroad Cwithout a Fclue
N.C.
We're going up like fire in
N.C.
Just the blink between the dream
N.C.
And the memories and the embers
N.C.
Of what we'd hoped it all would be
[Outro]
FWe're going up like fire in
Just the Cblink between the Fdream
And the memories and the Bbembers
Of what we'd Dmhoped it all would Cbe
Breathing Fodour of lavender
And it's all Ccoming back to meDm  
Wish I Fdidn't fail to say Bbthose
Words Dmbefore you'd have to Cleave
BbA soul, a storm, a journey across the waves
BbA soul, a storm, a journey across the waves, oh
BbA soul, a storm, a journey across the waves
