Intro:  -  x4


Verse 1:

                      
Don't look ahead, just run to me
                             
Each step will find the next one recklessly
                             
We'll find ourselves on the safest ledge
                            
Well, pardon me, I couldn't help myself
                       
Girl, fall into your life here
                  
If only for a while, I'm here


Chorus 1:

Cadd11                          
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
                                 
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
     Cadd11                              
It's fine,  lock all your doors through the night
                                
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
                    
It's fine,  it's fine


Then,  -  x2


Verse 2:

                                           
You felt alone before you ever really knew how alone you were
                  
An empty house, a lonely room
                      
The TV talks the fear right out of you
                                            
But you feel like someone's standing by, but you'll never know


Chorus 2:

Cadd11                          
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
                                 
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
     Cadd11                              
It's fine,  lock all your doors through the night
                                
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
     (mute)
It's fine


Bridge:

                                       
The sun burns a  hole straight through your old flaws
                                      
If you look toward the sky even on your greyest night
                               *          
Could you be happy now, with the wind in your hair
                                   
And your eyes open wide and your feet going nowhere?


Chorus 3:

Cadd11                          
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
                                 
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
     Cadd11                              
It's fine,  lock all your doors through the night
                                
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
     (mute)
It's fine


Please note:

I tabbed the chords on the bridge according to what the bass is playing. 
If you listen carefully you'll notice the chords are right, you just have to learn the timing.

The chords in the "with the wind in your hair..." part are also tricky. 
I've put the ones that, in my opinion, sound better.

As always, if you have any corrections, feel free to comment, but please, be polite!
