Song:
Intro 2x
Start strumming C
I take a breath
And hold the air until there's nothing left
I'm feeling green
Like teenage lovers between the sheets
Intro 2x (While singing - Strum C in between both times)
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
Knuckles clenched to white
As the landing gear retract for flight
My heads a balloon
Inflating with the altitude
Intro 2x (While singing - Strum C in between both times)
Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba
I watch the patchwork farm's
Slow fade into the ocean's arms
And from here they can't see me stare
The stale taste of recycled air
I watch the patchwork farm's
Slow fade into the ocean's arms
Calm down release your cares
The stale taste of recycled air
Intro 1x
the end.
