verse 1 
           C                          G 
If gravity let us go, we would all go flying 
                  Am                                          G 
And I'll meet you somewhere in the milky night, away past the satellites 

verse 2 
    C                                              G 
The breeze is dressed so lightly and it breathes onto this fire escape 
              Am                                  G 
Where all our secrets melt like ice, leaving only water 

verse 3 
C                                                     G                  Am 
Night will close us down and change the view and I'll promise you what I can 
C                                  G                      Am 
I forget myself when I'm with you. Please remind me who I am! 

verse 4 
C                                            G 
Dancing like a landslide, swinging round the living room 
             Am                                            G 
We fall like sudden rain from sullen skies, singing to the radio's tune 

Verse 5 
C                                          G                  Am 
Say my name aloud and make it new and I'll promise you what I can 
C                                  G                      Am 
I forget myself when I'm with you. Please remind me who I am! 

CODA 
Am 
Day so soon, hear all the traffic move 
               G                                   Am 
The sirens all fill this room till we both have to shout 
Am 
From the road, watching the stars explode 
          G 
You and I breathe so slow, 
              | Am   G | 
How strange the sound. 
              | Am   G | 
How strange the sound. 
              | Am   G | 
How strange the sound.
