                   Bm     A  Bm   A
I'm waiting for my moment to come
                    G        A       G        A
I'm waiting for the movie to begin
                  Bm  A  Bm   A
I'm waiting for a revelation
                    G        A         G        A
I'm waiting for someone to count me in

PRE-CHORUS:
               Bm                F#m
Cos now I only see my dreams, in everything I touch
A                         Em
Feel their cold hands on, everything that I love
Bm              F#m
Cold like some, magnificant skyline
A                    Em                   G
Out of my reach, but always in my eyeline now

   We're tumbling down

We're spiralling

Tied up to the ground

We're spiralling

Bm A x4  

VERSE:
                      Bm     A  Bm     A
I fashioned you from jewels and stone
                    G   A    G        A
I made you in the image of myself
                Bm        A  Bm   A
I gave you everything you wanted
                    G     A      G      A
So you would never know anything else

PRE-CHORUS:
                 Bm                F#m
But everytime I reach for you, you slip through my fingers
A                   Em
Into cold sunlight, laughing at the things that
Bm                 F#m
I had planned, the map of my world gets
A                      Em                           G
Smaller as I sit here, pulling at the loose threads now

In love with ourselves

We're spiralling
