Chorus:
D D Am
Don't look down
Am D D Am
Keep staring like you've never seen the stars
Am D D Am
If you need me to remind you who you are
Am
Little blossom there's the shiniest soul
Em
Just behind those eyes
(The end of the chorus needs an extra chord but cant for the life of me think wat it is)
Rest of the song follows same pattern:
No longer my affair
Well I can't go there just yet
So I've come to love and trust those friends
That are holding your net
Falling off used to mean
Maybe grazing a knee
And I'll miss you the way you miss the sea
(Just)Don't look down
Keep staring like you've never seen the stars
If you need me to remind you who you are
Little blossom there's the shiniest soul
Just behind those eyes
While I won't second guess
What you're thinking of me
I will miss you the way, you miss the sea.
(Just)Don't look down
Keep staring like you've never seen the stars
If you need me to remind you who you are
Little blossom there's the shiniest soul
Just behind those eyes
