Intro: C 

           Em          F                    Em          C 
The sky is turning and longing for something far away 
             Em                F            Em           F 
The moon's a tear drop, see it slowly, as he falls away 
             Em            F 
Miles running down a face 
            Em                Am 
Everything's bound to change 
             Em       Am 
It's bound to change 


Pre-Chorus 
             C            Am 
Day breaks of tenderness 
           C 
So hold me here like this 
             Dm            F 
So still and quiet as if it might 


 
         C 
Keep you happy 
                     F 
Oh, oh, oh, keep you happy 
                     C 
Oh, oh, oh, keep you happy 
                     F        C 
Oh, oh, oh, keep you happy 



          Em         F               Em           C 
A feeling has me and tells me it will never stay 
                 Em           F                Em         F 
Your heart beats miles now, I feel them as they fly away 
             Em          F 
Close gets so far away 
             Em    Am 
Close gets so far 


Pre-Chorus 
             C            Am 
Day breaks of loneliness 
           C 
I'd weather all of this 
           Dm           F 
If I could find a place where I'd 


 
         C 
Keep you happy 
                     F 
Oh, oh, oh, keep you happy 
                     C 
Oh, oh, oh, keep you happy 
                     F          Em 
Oh, oh, oh, keep you happy 


Bridge: 
    Am                     F                 Em      Am 
Why do we pretend there is something to hold onto? 
        F 
See how my world fell in 
      Em        Dm 
I was trying to hold you 
      Em        Dm        C 
I was trying to hold you 


           Em        F               Em           C 
Night is a gypsy who tells me he will never stay 
               Em             F                Em          F 
Miles are like heart beats, I know them as they fly away 
            Em          F 
See how they fly away 
        Em   Am 
See as I fly 


Pre-Chorus 
             C              Am 
Day breaks of restlessness 
                C 
I'm filled with all of this 
           Dm                F 
But deep inside, what will I find  


 
           C 
To keep me happy 
                    F 
Oh, oh, oh, keep me happy 
                    C 
Oh, oh, oh, keep me happy 
                    F    
Oh, oh, oh, keep me happy 
              
Oh, oh, oh
