Key: F
[Intro]
F F C G (x2)
[Verse]
F
Lost and found
C G
My mind, but only for a moment
F C G
All my crimes are safe, beneath my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm F
And I try, oh, I try
C G
To pretend that I'm fine
Dm F
Tell me why, oh, tell me why
C G
I need you by my side
[Chorus]
Dm F
And suddenly I'm bored, I'm dancing in the dark
C G
Counting all the billboards, and the city lights
Dm F
I keep all my affection in a paper cup
C G
Oh I, oh I'm
Dm F
Running after bluebirds, show you what I've got
C G
Save all my tomorrows from the lonely nights
Dm F
Can you hear me crying? Baby I'm alright
C G
Oh I, oh I
[Verse]
F
Rest your eyes
C G
Better days are coming, I can feel it
F C G
All my lies are safe beside you now
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm F
And I try, oh, I try
C G
To pretend that I'm fine
Dm F
Tell me why, oh, tell me why
C G
I need you by my side
[Chorus]
Dm F
And suddenly I'm bored, I'm dancing in the dark
C G
Counting all the billboards, and the city lights
Dm F
I keep all my affection in a paper cup
C G
Oh I, oh I'm
Dm F
Running after bluebirds, show you what I've got
C G
Save all my tomorrows from the lonely nights
Dm F
Can you hear me crying? Baby I'm alright
C G
Oh I, oh I
[Bridge]
Dm F
You stayed only for a moment
C G
I said "Stay with me a while"
Dm F
You faded like a pretty snowflake
C G
That I was holding in my hand
Dm F
You stayed only for a moment
C G
I said "Stay with me a while"
Dm F
You faded like a pretty snowflake
C G N.C.
That I was holding in my hand
[Instrumental]

Notes:
*When you see 0 followed by a number like 02, it means the second fret, it was written that way to keep
alignment.
*The song is built from a total of two progressions, the first one is the into progression(F C G) which
is used in the intro, verses, instrumental part, and the outro.
The second one is the pre-chorus progression(Dm F C G) which is used in the pre-chorus, chorus, and bridge.

Lost and found
My mind, but only for a moment
All my crimes are safe, beneath my heart
And I try, oh, I try
To pretend that I am fine
Tell me why, oh, tell me why
I need you by my side
And suddenly I'm bored, I'm dancing in the dark
Counting all the billboards, and the city lights
I keep all my affection in a paper cup
Oh I, oh I'm
Running after bluebirds, show you what I've got
Save all my tomorrows from the lonely nights
Can you hear me crying? Baby I'm alright
Oh I, oh I
Rest your eyes
Better days are coming, I can feel it
All my lies are safe beside you now
And I try, oh, I try
To pretend that I'm fine
Tell me why, oh, tell me why
I need you by my side
And suddenly I'm bored, I'm dancing in the dark
Counting all the billboards and the city lights
I keep all my affection in a paper cup
Oh I, oh I'm
Running after bluebirds, show you what I've got
Save all my tomorrows from the lonely night
Can you hear me crying? Baby, I'm alright
Oh I, oh, I
You stayed only for a moment
I said "Stay with me a while"
You faded like a pretty snowflake
That I was holding in my hand
You stayed only for a moment
I said "Stay with me a while"
You faded like a pretty snowflake
That I was holding in my hand
Lost and found
My mind, but only for a moment
