Verse:
F Em
Lost at sea
Am
Forever you and me, if I could
F Em
Reach the edge,
Am
And find the only end pretending
F Em
Not to hide,
Am
I find myself inside but only
F Em
Realize
Am
You never end inside
Main Riff: (I think Ben plays with it a little bit when he does it live, so just play whatever sounds good.)

verse 2: (If you're singing along and feel brave, you could play the intro riff over this verse. The timing was
a bit hard for me at first but i got it eventually)
F Em
Find the one
Am
Escape the drowning sun so empty
F Em
People cry
Am
For losing all their mindsets over
F Em
Family ties
Am
Mistakes and lonely crimes avoid the
F Em
Midday kite (?)
Am
A necessary sight
Riff
Outro: (Just play the lower notes of the intro riff, they're just the roots of each chord up an octave so I'll
put the chords here.)
F Em
Cause I will take you to the edge
Am
Through darkness and the wilderness
F Em Am
Take our fear and turn it into dust
F Em
Lie to you and count to ten
Am
Every time I do inside my head
F Em Am
Crush our loss with vain inside my palms.
