{Verse 1}

       G                                     Em      
So we drive at the fate of this deep phoenix sky
                                C
With it's contents that keep me alive
            D                     G 
Incessantly breathing through the night
        G                                          Em
Till we crash with the white caps that ride on our backs
                                  C                      
Breaking down on the sand of this western coast
        D                           G
Where I never once thought we would stand
                

{Pre-Chorus}
                D 
But here we are now
       Em            C              D
Riding currents that taste of a new town
        G           C               D
Feeling high as the night's winding down
     Em       C                 Em                  D  
And now all I can see are white stars they span forever




{Chorus}

G             D                                       C
As I lay by a streetlight not a word I could possibly say
G             D                                       C  
To explain my intrigue by how emphatic we are just to be, 

Em  C  D  G  Em  C  D  
        G
just to be
 


{Verse 2}
       G                                  Em
Now we run facing out at the southwestern sun
                        C
So content to be all so undone
                    D               G
Cause here in these moments we have won
        G
And I'm sure that I've imagined these sites
      Em                                   C
But I forget why I was never enticed to go out and try
    D                     G
But tonight dream becomes life
 

{Pre-Chorus}
                  D
Cause here we are now
       Em            C              D
Riding currents they taste of a new town
         G           C               D
We're so high as the night's winding down
       Em          C            Em              D
Just a spot on the map of this land it spans forever
 

{Chorus}


G             D                                       C
As I lay by a streetlight not a word I could possibly say
G               D                                      C  
To explain my intrigue by how emphatic we are just to be
 

{Bridge}

      Em   D      C          G
And I wont take a minute for granted
  Em   D             C       G 
I wont waste another word
      Em              D          C
These streets I would kill to be lost in

G  D  D  C
G  D  D  C

G          D                                         C 
I lay by a streetlight as the summer air soaks in my lungs
G                D
Cause I lay by a streetlight
    D                         C                        G      D
How impressive are we just to live and breathe in this world
        D                C                G      D
And how lucky am I to be so alive in this world
       D                       C                 G 
Oh how precious are we just to simply be in this world
