                   GAnd (320003@1)it starts like this we crave to be kissed
               Cadd9by (x32030@1)a moment complete in its happiness
                  GFar (320003@1)away from the things that we wish to escape
                Cadd9that (x32030@1)lead us to think we are not awake
          GWe (320003@1)are ourselves despite ourselves
                Cadd9this (x32030@1)place gets smaller as the universe swells
           G (320003@1)                       Cadd9We (x32030@1)come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually.

                   GYou (320003@1)can choose the truth you can listen to light
                 Cadd9you (x32030@1)can lead the charge and still loose the fight
              GFar (320003@1)be it for me to claim anything
              Cadd9for (x32030@1)I am just one in a state of being

    G (320003@1)               Cadd9 (x32030@1)         G (320003@1)                   Cadd9And (x32030@1)I am not the only Caulfield who's catching more than kids

This is my first ever attempt at this, so please don't hesitate to correct me. I believe 
transistion are all in the correct places but I'm not confident I have the chords 
especially in the chorus. Thanks
