Em 
The first time I realized I was living in this world 
      C                       G 
I was probably looking at the sky 
    Em 
and forgive me but I don't know if I remember enough to say 
         B                        C 
what the air was really like that day 

              G 
may have been clouds 
   C 
or sun 
        G 
I don't recall 
      C 
I was young

Em 
and the next time I realized I was breathing in the life 
      C (walk down)                G 
was the first time that I saw your face 
  Em 
I wanted you but I don't know if I was brave enough to say  
        B                         C 
how the sight of you messed up my mind 

      G             C         G           C 
I got scared, right away, and okay, right away.

Em (one strum) 
the next thing I knew the stars were eyes up in the night 
        C (one strum)                G (one strum) 
and the ocean breathing heavy like a beast 
  Em                                                               B                       C 
I held you but I don't know if I was strong enough to say how the way it felt messed up my mind 

              G 
may have been clouds 
   C 
or sun 
        G 
I don't recall 
      C 
I was young 

              G 
may have been clouds 
   C 
or sun 
        G 
I don't recall 
      C

              G 
may have been clouds 
   C 
or sun 
        G 
I don't recall 
      C 
I was young 

              G 
may have been clouds 
   C 
or sun 
        G 
I don't recall 
      C 
I was young
