[D]
I need a bed that nobody slept in I need some air nobody's been breathing
I need a thought that I can believe in Is this fog or is the building really burning
I need you now much more than ever I'm making new friends but none of them matter
Maybe now we don't fit together but [E] You've got your arms around no one but strangers
I feel fine with [G] the sun in my [D] eyes The wind in my hair, [G] we're falling out of
[D] this sky Doing better than I thought I would
But nothing's ever as good [G] as when you're on [D] top
I wanna wake up and just start running Into a ditch or straight up a mountain
I wanna get where no one's been getting [A] naked Deeper than hell and make it higher than heaven
[D] I need someone whose trash hasn't been there And when everybody's disappearing by the minute
There isn't anyone left I haven't met yet [A] But I remember when they hadn't gotten to [D] yet
I feel fine with [G] the sun in my eyes [D] The wind in my hair, [G] we're falling out of
this [D] sky Doing better than [G] I thought I would
But [D] nothing's ever as good [G] as when you're on [D] top
I feel fine with [G] the sun in my eyes [D] The wind in my hair, [G] we're falling out of
this sky [D] Doing better [G] than I thought I would
But [D] nothing's ever as good [G] as when you're on top
When you're on [Bm] top
Halfway up [G] and over this [D] rainbow I heard a shot [A] fire up from the [Bm] base
As I'm drunk I [G] do think you'd [E] follow I just didn't know the sky was this [D] shallow
[G] [D]
[G] [D]
[G] [D] I need a garden where nothing's for bidding I need an apple when no one's been eating
I wanna start again back at the beginning [A] While I have a vision that this feeling
Maybe has an ending
[D] I feel fine with [G] the sun in my [D] eyes The wind in my [G] hair, we're falling out of
this [D] sky Doing better [G] than I thought I would
But [D] nothing's ever as good [G] as when you're on [D] top
I feel fine [G] with the sun in my eyes [D] The wind in my hair, [G] we're falling out of
this [D] sky Doing better [G] than I thought I would

When you're on [D] top
