Intro: A
Verse 1:
A
Right before I met you things were getting pretty green
A
I was on an upswing though I could hardly even think
A F#m G A
I was looking out, looking out
A
Well it took me several mornings with my throat in a mangled knot
A
Sounding out my virtues and my vices and other thoughts
A
Struggling to remember the most recent things that I forgot
A F#m G A F#m G A
Well I was looking out, looking out, looking out, looking out
Chorus 1:
G D A D A
When you're always on you feel defeated so your guardians have lost
G D A D A
In a foreign town, you could hear that singing it wouldn't wake up a sound
G F A
When you hear that singing it wouldn't wake up a sound
Verse 2:
A
Carbon copy portraits in a box that I was shufflin' through
A
Stuffed with paper memories that are only partly true
A
Well I've been gettin' a feelin' about someone a lot like you
F#m G A F#m G A
Looking out, looking out Looking out, looking out
A
When there's classic meltdowns and devastating rain
A
Hurried up for waiting more times than I care to say
A
Well it's clear to us now it's starting to change
F#m G A F#m G A
Moving on, moving on moving forward Moving on
Chorus 2:
G D A D A
When you're always on you feel defeated so your guardians have lost
G D A D A
In a foreign town, you could hear that singing it wouldn't wake up a sound
G F A
You could hear that singing it wouldn't wake up a sound
