Artist: Owl City
Album: Ocean Eyes

Tuning: Standard
Capo: 3



G (strum once)             D (strum once) Am (strum once)
Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky
    Cadd9 (strum once)   G (strum once)
And we'll stir the stars around
                    D(strum (xx0232@1)once) Am(strum (x02210@1)once)
And watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay
    Cadd9 (once)   D (once)  G (begin to strum normally)
And plummet out of sight and sound
                D (xx0232@1)                   AmThe (x02210@1)open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills
      Cadd9 (x32030@1)              GWhere (320003@1)I live in the alpine heights
                   D (xx0232@1)                AmBelow (x02210@1)the Northern Lights, I spend my coldest nights
Cadd9 (x32030@1)          D (xx0232@1)      Em (022000@1)             Cadd9 (x32030@1)    GAlone, (320003@1)awake and thinking of...the weekend we were in love

G, Cadd9, Em, G (Repeat x4)

G (320003@1)                       D (xx0232@1)            AmHome (x02210@1)among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull
  Cadd9 (x32030@1)                 GA (320003@1)thousand miles from the tide
                  D (xx0232@1)               AmBut (x02210@1)photos on the walls of New York shopping malls
   Cadd9 (x32030@1)              GDistract (320003@1)me so I stay inside
                   D (xx0232@1)             AmI (x02210@1)wish the rockets stayed over the promenade
    Cadd9 (x32030@1)                 GCuz (320003@1)I would make a hook and eye
                       D (xx0232@1)              AmAnd (x02210@1)fish them from the sky, my darling, she and I
      Cadd9 (x32030@1)               GWe're (320003@1)hanging on so take us high
To sing the world goodbye

Cadd G (320003@1)      DI (xx0232@1)am floating away
Cadd9 (x32030@1)   G (320003@1)    DLost (xx0232@1)in a silent ballet
Cadd9 (x32030@1)             G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)           EmI'm (022000@1)dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you
Cadd9 (x32030@1)  G (320003@1)         DAwake (xx0232@1)to take in the view
Cadd9 (x32030@1)         G (320003@1)   DLate (xx0232@1)nights and early parades
      Cadd9 (x32030@1)    G (320003@1)   DStill (xx0232@1)photos and noisy arcades
   Cadd9 (x32030@1)        G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)                 EmMy (022000@1)darling, we're both on the wing, look down and keep on singing
Cadd9 (x32030@1)    G (320003@1)   DAnd (xx0232@1)we can go anywhere
      
        D(strum (xx0232@1)once)
Are you there?
        G(strum once)
Are you there 
   Em (022000@1)           D (xx0232@1)   Am (x02210@1)     G (320003@1)DOr (xx0232@1)are you just a decoy dream in my head?

Am, G, D, Cadd9, G, D (listen to song to get tempo and strumming pattern right...I 
think it repeats 4 times)

In the actual song, there is another solo (G, Cadd9, Em, G) at the end, but I 
think it sound better on guitar to just end on G. Well, hope this helps! :)
