Intro: Em D C (3x) C D G 

Verse: 

Em         D              C 
Hearts are racing at the speed of light 
Em        D            C 
Eyes are open and I'm rolling right 
Em      D              C 
Sinking feeling it's almost like 
C           D           G 
it wouldn't matter if we died tonight 

Pre-Chorus:
 
        Em D C 
We are beautiful, 
Em D C 
Breakable 
         Em   D  C         C D G 
We cant lose it all to the light 
 
  
         C Em   D      
'Cause in time we all burn as one 
       C Em         D 
in the sun, in the sky 
       C Em      D              C Em    D 
like a shooting star, it's just who we are 

Verse: (Same as above) 

Pushin', pushin', pullin', moving on 
a sense of freedom we've been hanging from 
cut the chord now it wont be long 
'till we find out where its coming from 

Pre-chorus: 

We are beautiful, 
Breakable 
We cant lose it all to the light 
 

'Cause in time we all burn as one 
in the sun, in the sky 
like a shooting star its just who we are 

Solo: same chords as chours  


Pre-Chorus: 

We are beautiful, 
Breakable 
We cant lose it all to the light 


'Cause in time we all burn as one 
in the sun in the sky 
like a shooting star its just who we are
