1. The first snow, first winter of my life,
G A
I was told it was the height
of me.
A Em
The first dance, well, the
first one that counted,
G A
felt
like my blood was built from crackling lights.
A Em G A
Oh, this ancient wildness that
we don't understand,
A Em G A
the
first sound of a heartbeat to riot roaring on.
A Em
This is not a love you've had before,
- G - A
this is something else, this is something else !
A Em
This is not the same as other days,
- G - A
this is something else, this is something else !
A Em
It shouldn't need to be so fucking hard,
G A
this is life on earth, it's just
life on earth.
A Em
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me,
G A
this is life on earth, it's just
life on earth.

2. The first light, first light on the silent shore,
G A
just
the ships set anchor, me and you.
A Em
The way home, this is always
the way home,
G A
so
you can rip that map to shreds, my dear.

Em G A
But all we ever wanted seems
miles and miles from here,
A Em G A
in
the first days in a strange new land we could be sailors.
A Em
This is not a love you've had before,
- G - A
this is something else, this is something else !
A Em
This is not the same as other days,
- G - A
this is something else, this is something else !
A Em
It shouldn't need to be so fucking hard,
G A
this is life on earth, it's just
life on earth.
A Em
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me,
G A
this is life on earth, it's just
life on earth.
