G5
I need a bed
                      D5
That nobody?s slept in
G5
I need some air
                     D5
That nobody?s been breathing
G5            
I need a thought
                D5
That I can believe in
A5
Is this fog
Or is the building really burning

G5
I need you now
D5
Much more than ever
G5
I?m making new friends
          D5
But none of them matter
G5
Maybe now
       D5
We don?t fit together
      A5
But you?ve got your arms around
No one but strangers

(chorus)

D5
I feel fine
                 G5
With the sun in my eyes
D5
The wind in my hair
                         G5            
When I ?m falling out of this sky
D5                              G5
I?m doing better than I thought I would
D5                                    
But nothing?s ever as good
       G5              
As when you?re on top


I want to wake up
And just start running
Into a ditch
Or straight up a mountain
I want to get 
Where no ones?s been gettin?
Make it deeper than hell
Or make it higher than heaven
I need someone whose price hasn?t been met
When everybody?s disappearing
By the minute
There isn?t anyone left
That I haven?t met yet
Well I remember
When they hadn?t gotten to you yet

(chorusx2)

(bridge)
B5
Half way up
           G5
And over this rainbow
D5
I heard a shot
             A5
Fire up from the ghetto
B5
As I drop
             G5
I didn?t think you?d follow
E5
Just didn?t know   D....G.....D.....G5

The sky was this shallow

play around with those notes.


I need a garden
Where nothings forbidden
I need an apple
That no one?s been eatin?
I want to start again
Back at the beginin?
I had a vision
That this feeling maybe has an ending

(Chorus)
