    C - D - C

 

        D              C           D                     C

1. I had a bad habit of missing lovers past,

             D                     C

    my brother used to call it

        D                        Em                               D

    “Eating out of the trash”, it's never gonna last.

 

          D                                 C            D                            C

2. I thought my house was haunted, I used to live with ghosts,

            D                      C                       D                           Em

    and all the perfect couples said “When you know you know”,

                                              D

    and “when you don’t you don’t.”

             C                                                     D

    And all of the foes and all of the friends (ah, ah)

               C                                                  D

    have seen it before, they’ll see it again (ah, ah).

      C                                                                 Em

    Life is a song, it ends when it ends, I was wrong...

 

                                    G

But my mama told me it’s alright,

                                                Em

you were dancing through the lightning strikes

                          Am                                           D

sleepless in the onyx night, but now the sky is opalite.

                       G

Oh oh oh oh, oh, my Lord

                                       Em

never made no one like you before,

                                   Am

you had to make your own sunshine

                               D

but now the sky is opalite (oh oh oh oh).

 

              D                    C            D                C

2. You couldn’t understand it why you felt alone,

              D          C             D                      Em

    you were in it for real, she was in her phone,

                                       D

    and you were just a pose.

              D                   C                        D                 C

    And don’t we try to love love ? We give it all we got.

            D                    C                  D                   Em

    You finally left the table, and what a simple thought,

                                             D

    you're starving til you’re not.

             C                                                     D

    And all of the foes and all of the friends (ah, ah)

               C                                                              D

    have messed up before, they’ll mess up again (ah, ah).

      C                                                                    Em

    Life is a song, it ends when it ends, you move on...

 

                                          G

And that’s when I told you it’s alright,

                                                Em

you were dancing through the lightning strikes

                          Am                                           D

sleepless in the onyx night, but now the sky is opalite.

                       G

Oh oh oh oh, oh, my Lord

                                       Em

never made no one like you before,

                                   Am

you had to make your own sunshine

                               D

but now the sky is opalite (oh oh oh oh).

 

        G                                      Em

+  This is just a storm inside a teacup,

                                      Am

    but shelter here with me, my love,

                              D

    thunder like a drum, this life will beat you up, up, up, up.

       G                                    Em

    This is just a temporary speed bump,

                                         Am

    but failure brings you freedom,

                                     D                      D7

    and I can bring you love, love, love, love, love!

 

                                        G

Don’t you sweat it, baby, it’s all right

                                                Em

you were dancing through the lightning strikes

                          Am                                           D

sleepless in the onyx night, but now the sky is opalite.

                       G

Oh oh oh oh, oh, my Lord

                                       Em

never made no one like you before,

                                   Am

you had to make your own sunshine

                               D                               G

but now the sky is opalite (oh oh oh oh, oh).
