Owl City is an American electropop musical project by Adam Young. Young started out making music in 2007 in his basement in his hometown of Owatonna, Minnesota, United States, later developing a following through his MySpace profile before being signed to Universal Republic. Young has released six albums under the Owl City moniker: "Maybe I'm Dreaming" (2008), "Ocean Eyes" (2009), "All Things Bright and Beautiful" (2011), "The Midsummer Station" (2012), "Mobile Orchestra" (2015), and "Cinematic" (2018).
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Note: G/F# is a special one, (I kind of made it up ) and is difficult to swap out of this song, but you can at the end of the intro.
Note #2: There's an odd delay in D/F#, not a mistake. The chords change where they change on the words, finally!
(PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU THINK A CHORD IS WRONG AND I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT. Someone had suggested Cmadd9 but I'm having trouble deciding. I may just change Cadd9 to C)

[Verse 1] D/F#Em I'm tired of waking up in tears, D/F#GD/F#EmCadd9 'Cause I can't put to bed these phobias and fears GD/F#Em I'm new to this grief I can't explain; D/F#GD/F#EmCadd9 But I'm no stranger to the heartache and the pain.
[Pre-Chorus] DEmGCadd9 The fire I began, is burning me alive DEmCadd9D/F# But I know better than to leave and let it die
[Chorus] GD/F#EmCadd9 I'm a Silhouette, asking every now and then, GD/F#EmCadd9 "Is it over yet? Will I ever feel again?" GD/F#EmCadd9 I'm a Silhouette, chasing rainbows on my own
[Post-Chorus] Am7DGDEmD But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone Cadd9Cmadd9G So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
[Intrumental] D/F#EmCadd9 GD/F#EmCadd9G/F#G
[Verse 2] D/F#Em I'm sick of the past I can't erase, D/F#GD/F#EmCadd9 A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I can't retrace, GD/F#Em The mountains of things that I still regret, D/F#GD/F#Em Is a vile reminder that I would rather just forget Cadd9D (No matter where I go)
