[Verse 1]
G G
Roam, the phone is where I live til I get home
Em
And when the doorbell rings you tell me that I have a key
Cmaj7
I ask you, how you know it's me
G G
The road, no road without a turn and if there was
The road would be too long
Em
What keeps us standing in this view
Cmaj7
Is the view that we can be brand new
[Chorus]
G Em
The landlady takes me up in the air
C G D/F#
I go, I go where I would not dare
Em C
Landlady shows me the stars up there
C G D/F#
I'm weightless, weightless when she is there
C Em
And I'll never know, never know what starving poets meant
C D
Cos' when I was broke, it was you that always paid the rent
[Verse 2]
G G
Space, her place is where I found my parking space
Em
And when I'm losing ground, you know she gives it back to me
Cmaj7
She whispers "don't do, just be"
[Chorus]
G Em
The landlady takes me up in the air
Cmaj7 G D/F#
I go, I go where I would not dare
Em C
Landlady shows me the stars up there
C G D/F#
I'm weightless, weightless when she is there
C Em
And I'll never know, never know what starving poets meant
C D
Cos' when I was broke, it was you that always paid the rent
[Instrumental]
Em7 Csus2 G D
[Outro]
Em7
Every wave that broke me
Csus2
Every song that wrote me
G
Every dawn that woke me
D
Was to get me home to you, see
Em7
Every soul that left me
Csus2
Every heart that kept me
G
The strangers that protected me
D
To bring me back to you
Em7
Every magic potion
Csus2
Every false emotion
G
How unswerving our devotion
D
To the lies we know are almost true
Em7
Every sweet confusion
Csus2
Every grand illusion
G
I will win and call it losing
D
If the prize is not for you
