         Em               C             G 
From the second floor you seemed so far away. 
           Em                 C             G 
And as the raindrops kissed my broken lips, i begged that you would stay. 
             Em           C             G 
But you know honeslty you mean to me the weather. 
     Em                 C                     G                   Am 
The stage was yours last time, but this time, i found someone better.  
Em          C 
Ruby Red. 
    G               Bm 
She wants the world instead.  
Em          C 
Ruby Red. 
     G               D 
She wants the world instead. 


             Em               C           G 
And from the ice caps we could see the sea below. 
        Em             C            G                   Bm 
As the waves collided side to side that swayed us to and fro. 
        Em              C         G 
We were wild eyed like fireflies together. 
    Em              C                   G               Bm 
We sunk those chemicals like wolves and we were flying feathers.  
Em        C 
Ruby Red. 
    G               D 
She wants the world instead. 
Em          C 
Ruby Red. 
     G               D  
She wants the world instead. 





          C              G           D 
Singing. Nothings gonna stand in our way. 
C               G              D 
Nothings gonna change the world, so come closer. 
     C              G       D 
And nothings gonna stop us today. 
    C                G                     D 
We were the colours. Die like colours. So paint me black and blue. 




          Em                C              G 
And we'll explode into the sky and meet the sun. 
    Em                  C           G                    Bm 
To place you with the stars above, cause thats where you belong. 
Em        C 
Ruby Red. 
    G               D 
She wants the world instead. 
Em          C 
Ruby Red. 
     G               D 
She wants the world instead.
