[Intro]

E C#m F#m A

[Verse 1]

E C#m F#m A

Watch the feathers fly up from your coat

E C#m F#m A

You're like an angel I need an angel

E C#m F#m

I get so weighted down somehow you float

A E C#m

Across the pavement

F#m

Across the pavement

I've been stuck to so long

[Chorus 1]

And an ugly world suddenly

C#m A

Seems almost beautiful now

Every drunken word is poetry

C#m A

And weeds turn to flowers somehow

Up against the wind you and me

C#m A

It don't matter where we blow to

Even in this dark I can see

C#m A

everything I've lost inside you

F#m G#m A

Now splashing down every

C#m E

street I used to bleed in

F#m G#m A

With every doubt dripping out

C#m

This is where it's all

been leading to tonight

[Verse 2]

E C#m F#m A

Tonight I say it's like the city is ours

E C#m F#m A

You say it's nowhere I'm fine with nowhere

E C#m F#m A

Smile as you exhale up toward the stars

E C#m

And blow the dust out

F#m A

And blow the dust across a sea of concrete

[Chorus 2]

And an ugly world suddenly

C#m A

Seems almost beautiful now

Every drunken word is poetry

C#m A

And weeds turn to flowers somehow

Up against the wind you and me

C#m A

It don't matter where we blow to

Even in this dark I can see

C#m A

everything I've lost inside you

F#m G#m A

Now splashing down every

C#m E

street I used to bleed in

F#m G#m A

With every doubt dripping out

C#m

This is where it's all

been leading to tonight

[Instrumental]

E C#m E A

[Bridge]

B C#m A E

And there's no place I'd rather be

B C#m A E

Than on this sidewalk you and me

B C#m

We could have it all

soaking in a summer night

E E

While you're biting at raindrops

[Chorus 3]

And an ugly world suddenly

C#m A

Seems almost beautiful now

Every drunken word is poetry

C#m A

And weeds turn to flowers somehow

Up against the wind you and me

C#m A

It don't matter where we blow to

Even in this dark I can see

C#m A E

everything I've lost inside you
