Verse:
F Dm
If you were here beside me
C Bb
Instead of in New York
F Dm C Bb
If the curve of you was curved on me
F Dm
I'd tell you that I loved you
C Bb
Before I even knew you
F Dm C Bb
Cause I loved the simple thought of you
F Dm
If our hearts are never broken
C Bb
Well there's no joy in the mending
F Dm C Bb
There's so much this hurt can teach us both
F Dm
Though there's distance and there's silence
C Bb
Your words have never left me
F Dm C Bb
They're the prayer that I say every day.
Bb C Dm F
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Bb C
The lone neon nights
Dm F
And the ache of the ocean
Bb C Dm F
And the fire that was starting to spark
Bb C Dm F
I miss it all, from the love to the lightning
Bb C Dm F
And the lack of it snaps, me in two

There is nowhere else that I belong

The lone neon nights

And the ache of the ocean

And the fire that was starting to spark

I miss it all from the love to the lightning
Bb C Dm F
And the lack of it snaps, me in two
Bb C
Just give me a sign
Dm F
There's an end and a beginning
Bb Dm C F
To the quiet chaos driving me mad
Bb C
The lone neon nights
Dm F
And the want of the ocean
Bb C Dm F
And the fire that was starting to go out
