It makes sense that it should happen this way
Em G
That the sky should break, and the earth should shake
D F C G D
As if to say, sure it all matters, but in such an unimportant way
C G A
As if to say, hey hey-aa-ay

C G A
I know that you'd say, fly, fly away
D C G
It makes sense that it should hurt in this way

As if to say, hey hey-aa-ay
