Am                C 
 When you talk me down, 
      Em         Fmaj7      C  
 I go down, I go down, I go down 
                  G          C 
 When you talk me down, I go down 

Am                C 
 When you lift me up, 
   Em      Fmaj7   C 
 I jump, I jump, I jump, 
                 G      C 
 When you lift me up, I jump 

Am                  C 
 When the road goes on, 
     Em        Fmaj7     C 
 You sail, you sail, you sail 
                    G       C 
 When the road goes on, you sail 

Am                  C 
 When it cracks and burns,

 You bail, you bail, you bail,

          C              Fmaj7 
 But it's just a passing phase, 
       C           Am 
 Oh my days, oh my days, 
        G                
 My foundation's started to shake, 
                       Fmaj7 C 
 Scared that it might    break 

     C               Fmaj7 
 How did I come this way, 
           C              Am 
 Come this way, come this way 
         G 
 But it's just another page, 
                       Fmaj7 C   
 My book will have it's  day 


 Dm 
 Why can't I see when you're talking to me?

 When you talk me down, I go down

 When you lift me up,

 When you lift me up, I jump 

Am                  C 
 When the road goes on, 
     Em        Fmaj7     C 
 You sail, you sail, you sail 
                    G       C 
 When the road goes on, you sail
