[Intro]
Em Cmaj7/G Em (x2)

[Verse 1]
Em
The first time I realized I was living in this world
Cmaj7/G G
I was probably looking at the sky
Cmaj7/G Em
And forgive me but I don't know if I remember enough to say
B7 Cmaj7/G
What the air was really like that day

[Chorus]
G Cmaj7/G
May have been clouds, or sun
Em Cmaj7/G
I don't recall, I was young
Em Cmaj7/G Em

[Verse 2]
Em
And the next time I realized I was breathing in the life
C Cmaj7 Am D G
Was the first time that I saw your face
Cmaj7/G Em
I wanted you but I don't know if I was brave enough to say
B7 Cmaj7/G
How the sight of you messed up my mind

[Chorus]
G Cmaj7/G
I got scared, right away,
G Cmaj7/G
And okay, right away.
Em Cmaj7/G Em

[Verse 3]
Em
The next thing I knew the stars were eyes up in the night
Cmaj7/G G
And the ocean breathing heavy like a beast
Cmaj7/G Em
I held you but I don't know if I was strong enough to say
B7 Cmaj7/G
How the way it felt messed up my mind

[Chorus/Outro]
G Cmaj7/G
May have been clouds, or sun
Em Cmaj7/G
I don't recall, I was young
G Cmaj7/G
May have been clouds, or sun
Em Cmaj7/G
I don't recall, I was young
G Cmaj7/G
May have been clouds, or sun
Em Cmaj7/G
I don't recall, I was young
G Cmaj7/G
May have been clouds, or sun
Em Cmaj7/G
I don't recall, I was young
