1. LIFE ON EARTH
No capo.
B  F#mA  B
 -  -  -   x2
B
The first snow
                    F#m
The first winter of my life
      A                         B
I was told it was the height of me
B
The first dance
                         F#m
Well, the first one that counted
             A                                 B
Felt like my blood was built my from crackling lights
B                F#m
Oh this ancient wildness
     A              B
That we don't understand
    B                F#m
The first sound of a heartbeat
   A            B
To riot roaring on
B                           F#m
This is not love you had before
                        A
This is something else
                        B
This is something else
B                                 F#m
This is not the same as other days
                        A
This is something else
                        B
This is something else
B                                  F#m
Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
                      A
This is life on earth
                        B
It's just life on earth
B                                    F#m
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
                      A
This is life on earth
                        B
It's just life on earth
B
The first light
                       F#m
The first light on the silent shore
         A                         B
Just the ships set anchor me and you
B
The way home
                         F#m
This is always the way home
           A                            B
So you can rip that map to shreds, my dear
    B            F#m
But all we ever wanted
    A                    B
See miles and miles from here
       B                F#m
In the first days in a strange new land
A               B
We could be sailors
B                           F#m
This is not love you had before
                        A
This is something else
                        B
This is something else
B                                 F#m
This is not the same as other days
                        A
This is something else
                        B
This is something else
B                                  F#m
Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
                      A
This is life on earth
                        B
It's just life on earth
B                                    F#m
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
                      A
This is life on earth
                        B
It's just life on earth
B  F#mA  B
 -  -  -   x2

Around our ears

Don't fall in love with the

With the way things were

You're angry but you don't know how to be that yet
     C                                  F
It seems too much went wrong and all at once
   C                                F
Resistance seems impossible from down this low
     C                                 F
And surely no one else can feel like this
    F
But on the streets
         C             Dm
You can see them gathering
    F
And in your heart
      C                  Dm
You know they feel like you do
C                       F
Sound and pulse and volume
Hands just reaching other hands
C/E
This is almost overload

I said almost overload

Friends and foes and princes
Are all just human in the end

This is so damn simple, yeah

It's so damn simple
     C                               F
So standing in the steady throne of restless hope
     C                              F
You don't feel like an outcast anymore
     C                                F
And something deep inside of you has waken up
         C                                      F
And you know that nothing's gonna be the same again
     F
And on the streets
         C                  Dm
You can see for what seems miles
         F
Because in your heart
      C                  Dm
You know they feel like you do
C                       F
Sound and pulse and volume
Hands just reaching other hands
C/E
This is almost overload
F
I said almost overload
C                         F
Friends and foes and princes
Are all just human in the end
C/E
This is so damn simple, yeah
F
It's so damn simple
C  F  C  F
      C
Your mind won't be still
    F
It may not again
     C
You don't think it will
        F
But it will, it will
C                       F
Sound and pulse and volume
Hands just reaching other hands
C/E
This is so damn simple, yeah
F                    C
It's so damn simple

Am           Am7   Em7          Am    Am7 Em7
Remember the first time we got high
Am              Am7 Em7        Am   Am7 Em7
We felt like the rabid lion's roar
Am Am7  Em7      Am  Am7  Em7
We were elastic and then we were healed
Am            Am7  Em7         Am  Am7 Em7
Healed in the blinking of an eye
Am                Am7  Em7           Am Am7 Em7
And then when the dawn cracked over us
Am               Am7 Em7           Am Am7 Em7
The day wouldn't hit us hard at all
Am       Am7  Em7        Am    Am7   Em7
We could ride the morning into night again
Am          Am7  Em7               Am Am7 Em7
We knew the days were there to waste
    G
But these days

That light hit so heavy
    G
And those days
            F     Em
Feel like another life
Am                  G
This isn't like the first time anymore
Em                          F
And I've been chasing after all
Am                 G
Digging for the lost memories
Em                      F
Of our youth written in fire
Am                      G
You always said it's not too late for me
Em                         F
I sure am listening to you now
Am                 G
Leaving me so I can trust myself

'Cause there's a first time for that too
Am           Am7   Em7          Am
Remember the first time that we kissed
               Am7 Em7
It felt like a planet forming
Am               Am7  Em7       Am
But we were just novices at this
                Am7 Em7
It felt like an ancient wisdom
Am        Am7  Em7
There was lightning then and those
Am        Am7 Em7
Songs were [?] true
Am           Am7  Em7      Am      Am7 Em7
No wonder I still think so much about you
    G
But these days
         F         Em
My heart feels too heavy
    G
And those days
            F      Em
Are someone else's life
Am  G  Em  F
Am  G  Em  F
Am                  G
This isn't like the first time anymore
Em                          F
And I've been chasing after all
Am                 G
Digging for the lost memories
Em                      F
Of our youth written in fire
Am                      G
You always said it's not too late for me

I can't keep track of all your tears

You're crying rivers way too long
B
Ooh, I'm tired of loneliness
                      E
And way more tired of wasted time

As I'm still, you barely look alive

These sharks will do so much good
B                              A         E
Just keep your wits about you, don't let it end you
B                            A      E
And summon everything you've held up in reserve
B                           A       E
Don't fall for every single stolen glance and wink

You wanted it to work so much
    B
But it's been broken in your hands
                   E
The minute that it found your hands
B
Ooh, you're trying not to blink
                   E
And what you wanna see what is
