D Dsus2 (A) G
G Bm (Optional Riff here)
[Verse]
D Dsus2 (A) D G
This love, it is a distant star
G Bm
Guiding us home wherever we are
D Dsus2 (A) D G
This love, it is a burning sun
G Bm
Shining light on the things that we've done
A G
I try to speak to you everyday
A G
But each word we spoke, the wind blew away
[Verse]
G D A
Could these walls come crumbling down?
G D A
I want to feel my feet on the ground
G D A
And leave behind this prison we share
G A D
Step into the open air
[Instrumental]
D Dsus2 (A) G
G Bm (Opt Riff)
[Verse]
D Dsus2 (A) D G
How did we let it come to this?
G Bm
What we just tasted we somehow still miss
A G
How will it feel when this day is done
A G
And can we keep what we've only begun?
[Verse]
G D A
And now these walls come crumbling down
G D A
And I can feel my feet on the ground
G D A
Can we carry this love that we share
G A Bm
Into the open air?
G A Bm
Into the open air?
G A Bm
Into the open air?
[Outro]
D Dsus2 (A) G
G Bm (Opt Riff)
D Dsus2 (A) D G
This love, it is a burning sun
