[Verse 1] DAD I am talking in my sleep ABm Hiding inside my dreams ABm Fighting inside my head AD Scaring myself to death AD We live in a wonderland ABm Like blood isn't on our hands ABm When will it be enough?
[Pre-Chorus 1] AG When will I say I knew we had to get away? A Knew we had to get away, knew we had to get away
From the storm
[Chorus] D/F#GD/BA Can't live forever with my head in the clouds D/F#GD/BA Can't predict the weather with my feet on the ground D/F#G You tell me that we'll be alright D/BA But I don't know if you're right Bm/F#GD/BA I can't live forever with my head and my heart in the clouds
D/F#GD/BA D/F#GD/BA
[Verse 2] DAD I, am counting every sheep ABm But these rabbit holes run deep ABm Trying to be so right AD Desperate to start a fight AD All of this pointless talk ABm Why can't I turn it off? ABm When will it all just stop?
[Pre-Chorus 2] AG When will I say I knew we had to get away? A Knew we had to get away, knew we had to get away
All along
[Chorus] D/F#GD/BA Can't live forever with my head in the clouds D/F#GD/BA Can't predict the weather with my feet on the ground D/F#G You tell me that we'll be alright D/BA But I don't know if you're right Bm/F#GD/BA I can't live forever with my head and my heart in the clouds
D/F#GD/BA D/F#GD/BA
