Key:D
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
D Em G A (x2)
[Verse 1]
D
With her hand around the bottle with the lightning in tow
Em
She tried her best to carry it far as she could go
Bm G D A
She's done with her home, with her friends, with her own
Dmaj7
Identity, she's making it up along the way
Em7
The boys are fallin hard you know they wish she could stay
Bm7 Gmaj7
She's gone, in a beat
Dmaj7 Em7
All she loves, all she leaves
[Pre-Chorus]
G A
But if she finds that her stubbornness
Bm Bm7
Can't outweigh all the loneliness
Gmaj7 A E
I'll be here when she falls back to earth
G A
And I'll be kind, I'll be everything
Bm Bm7 Gmaj7
You can't find in the streets at least I can try
A E7
I'll be here if you are
[Chorus]
G A
If you find life ain't as easy as you
Bm E
Thought it, I'll be here in the city where
G A E
The lights don't shine as bright and you can close your eyes
G A
But if you find everything you wanted I'll be
Bm E
By your side the minute that you want it
G A D
If the time ain't right, know that you're on my mind
[Verse 2]
D
With her hand around the bottle sinking further than low
Em
She buries every feeling far down as they can go
Bm G D A
She's gone far from home, far from friends, on her own
Dmaj7
And the memory of everything that brought her to now
Em7
Keeps her going for the moment, but the thought comes around
Bm7 Gmaj7
It's gone, in a beat
Dmaj7 Em7
Every chance, every dream
[Pre-Chorus]
G A
But if she finds that her stubbornness
Bm Bm7
Can't outweigh all the loneliness
Gmaj7 A E
I'll be here when she falls back to earth
G A
And I'll be kind, I'll be everything
Bm Bm7 Gmaj7
You can't find in the streets at least I can try
A E7
I'll be here if you are
[Chorus]
G A
If you find life ain't as easy as you
Bm E
Thought it, I'll be here in the city where
G A E
The lights don't shine as bright and you can close your eyes
G A
But if you find everything you wanted I'll be
Bm E7
By your side the minute that you want it
G A D
If the time ain't right, know that you're on my mind
