Verse:

A ----------------------------------
Like a child could have the trigger,

------- C#m ------------------
And the best man needn't fall,

-- A ---------------------
To understand that heaven,

-------- C#m ---------------- C#7
Could be any place at all,

--------- D --------------------
Just five colours set in motion,

----------- E ----- A -------
And I try a-gain to place it,

-------- Dmaj7 ------------------ Dm
And it's features are obscured

----------- E ----- A ------
Everytime I turn to face it,

----------- C#7 -----
But I still chase it.

D ----------------------------- E ----
Oh it's twists are cruel and hopeless,

A ----------------------------
Like neglect has worn it thin,

------------ E --------------------
And it could rip the sky wide open,

----------------------------------
And let the rain come tumbling in.

------ A --------------------
And we wait on every whisper,

------- C#m ----------------
Like it makes us more alive,

--------- A -------------------
There's a sense we didn't have,

----- C#m ------------------------ C#7
And I feel it in the other five.

------- D ----------------
See the pity and the pride

--------------- E -- A -----
In the same sea of e-motion,

------ Dmaj7 --------------------- Dm
Cup my hands and touch the tide,

------------- E ------ A ----
And expect to feel the ocean,

----------- C#7 ---
It's just a notion.

D --------------------------------- E
And the knife has got my number,

A ---------------------------
And the number that you keep,

------- E ------------------------
And the knife has called division,

-------- A ---------------------- A7
And it's drawn when I'm asleep.

D ----------------------------- E ----
Oh it's twists are cruel and hopeless,

A ----------------------------
Like neglect has worn it thin,

------------ E --------------------
And it could rip the sky wide open,

----------------------------------
And let the rain come tumbling in.
