E G D E
i like you when i'm in the mood
A D D E
as the crow flies i go too
G D E
silver slivers in your eyes
A D
make it worth every lie
E G D C
i ever told, they turn to gold
A D
they kept me here
E G D C
they kept me here on this battlefield
A D

E G D E
i find out what you're all about
A D
when i think to look around
D E G D E
i feel my toes curl halfway around the world
A D
i'm sorry now
E G D C
there's magic here, and magic's weird
A D
look this is you
-Chorus-
E G D C
head in the clouds, feet underground
E G D C
and when you shake the earth moves, we're gonna live forever
E G D C
head in the clouds, feet underground
E G D C
and when you shake the earth moves, we're gonna live forever
E G D E
strange angels made this planet glow
A D
then kicked us out
D E G D E
i keep my nails dug into my half of the rug
A D
I'm sorry now
E G D C
i'm sorry now, you don't know how
A D
look this is you

E G D C
head underground, we'll hang around
E G D C
and when we shake the earth moves, we're gonna live forever
