If all this is easy and all that we need
A# F C
we’ve fallen behind, we’ve fallen behind
F Am Dm
you can dig all you like and make a big pile
A# F C
and sing all the while, and sing all the while
Dm C F
But you’re just a boy who strummed the right chord
Dm C F
and I’m just a boy who gave an ear
Am A# Am A# F C F
write, it’s alright, I’m shedding my skin instead of these tears
F Am Dm
Swimming alone and torn in between
A# F C
life in a dream or life on a string
F Am Dm
living atop our own little hills
A# F C
perched for the kill, we’re perched for the kill
Dm C F
and you’re just a boy who strummed the right chord
Dm C F
and I’m just a boy who gave an ear

write, it’s alright, I’m shedding my skin instead of these tears

and then all the earth, and then all the earth

how can it fall so far behind

try to remind me, and I’ll try to remind
Dm C F
But you’re just a boy who strummed the right chord

and I’m just a boy who gave an ear

write, it’s alright, write, it’s alright, write
