I noticed dididisaster had posted some chords into the comments on the song. Some of
didn't sound right to me, and I figured I would try my best to fix it up a little bit and
it on here to make it more accessible. Sorry if I messed up a bunch. Email me for any 
airenjohnson@gmail.com

During the last two stanzas of lyrics when Kevin plays the G he slides it up to 5 then
again before playing Dadd11

                                  Gadd9  Am11
It's going straight to my head:
  D9                    G5          Gm
I think I'm falling in love again.
                           Gadd9
Such simple miracles have happened
                              Am11
since your steady hands have come and
   D9          A9sus4
stopped my unraveling.


                             Gadd9    Am11
Your fingers, built for the piano,
              D9                G5      Gm
work out the knots that line my back.
                                    Gadd9
The stress I've stored since last December;
                     Am11
But now, it doesn't matter.
                 D9            A9sus4
I've learned to leave it in my past.

                           Gadd9
And I feel good about the future,
Am11      D9            G5        Gm
and this clarity I've never had.
                          Gadd9
You are the bounce in my step,
                                Am11
the burst of blood in my chest,
                D9          A9sus4
the prayer I've kept in my head.

                          Am7    C
You are the knock of my knees,
             Dm             G   Dadd11
the swollen sound of each song
                             Am7
I scribble down and tear up,
                          C
because they never match up.
              Dm            A
You are the words I fumble for.

         Bm
In the morning,
               C       D
you are the daybreak,
       G   Dadd11
and I am glad.

         Am7
And at night,
              C
you are the dream
        D         F      Dadd11
I fall asleep to have.

Am7,C,D,F,Dadd11 [x2]
