INTRO:
F#maj7 - B/F# - F# - F# (x2)
VERSE 1:
F#maj7 B/F# F# F#
I have tried but it's hard to fight it
F#maj7 B/F# F# F#
I can't just watch as it falls apart
F#maj7 B/F# F# F#
If we could break the mould, make it in from the cold
F#maj7 B/F# F# F#
Lose your mind, never lose your heart
PRE-CHORUS 1:
Eb
I don't mind working hard for it
F#
I'll bend the hands 'til the space appears
Eb
I'll move the pieces until we all fit
F# Abm11 F#/Bb
From near to far and from far to near
CHORUS 1:
Bsus2 F#
And I know that I'm going against the grain
Abm11 F#/Bb Bsus2
And I know this makes no sense
Bsus2 F# Abm11 F#/Bb Bsus2
The changes I've tried to make, they make no differ - ence
Bsus2 F# Eb
But I know that I'll try again, although it's so hard
F# Bsus2
Hard, hard
TRANSITION:
F#maj7 - B/F# - F# - F# (x2)
VERSE 2:
F#maj7 B/F# F# F#
Given time it'll finally focus
F#maj7 B/F# F# F#
And in a moment that's been and gone
F#maj7 B/F# F# F#
And in the afterglow, from my head to my soul
F#maj7 B/F# F# F#
I can see all I have ignored
PRE-CHORUS 2:
Eb
And I don't mind working hard for it
F#
I'll bend the hands 'til the space appears
Eb
I'll move the pieces until we all fit
F# Abm11 F#/Bb
From near to far and from far to near
CHORUS 2:
Bsus2 F#
And I know that I'm going against the grain
Abm11 F#/Bb Bsus2
And I know this makes no sense
Bsus2 F# Abm11 F#/Bb Bsus2
The changes I've tried to make, they make no differ - ence
Bsus2 F# Eb
But I know that I'll try again, although it's so hard
F# Bsus2
Hard, hard
TRANSITION:
F#maj7 - B/F# - F# - F# (x2)
BRIDGE:
C#7/Ab F#add9
If life's so short then we're wasting time
C#/F F#add9
Love is the last thing on our minds
C#7/Ab F#add9 C#/F C#/F
It's so simple but so hard to see
C#sus4 Ebm7
And you are not alone in this
Bb B9
Sense of loss and loneliness
C#7/Ab F#add9 C#/F C#/F
Take your shoes off, run towards the sea
CHORUS 3:
Bsus2 F#
And I know that I'm going against the grain
Abm11 F#/Bb Bsus2
And I know this makes no sense
Bsus2 F# Abm11 F#/Bb Bsus2
The changes I've tried to make, they make no differ - ence
Bsus2 F# Eb
But I know that I'll try again, although it's so hard
F# Bsus2
Hard, hard
TRANSITION:
F#maj7 - B/F# - F# - F# (x2)
OUTRO:
F#/Bb Am6 F#
I know the sun will keep on shining down
Am6 F#
As long as you're around
