Verse 1
G C Dsus G/F#
I forgot I was loving you
Em C D
Disappeared for an hour or two
G C Dsus
And I came to on a cold, wood floor
G/F# Em C D
And I didn't feel so good anymore
Chorus
G D C G
Now we clasp our hands And we make demands
G/F# Em C D
That the clouds will say what's wrong with you now
G D C G
And we had big plans Now alone we stand
G/F# Em C D
In the crowd and they're not even laughing out loud
Em | C D
They don't care
Verse 2
G C G G/F#
I'll shut my eyes and let tv
Em C D
Whisper, laugh and talk to me
G C G G/F#
And I'll curl up tight inside my head
Em C D
Killing time 'til the whole day is dead
Chorus 2
G D C G
And I'll clasp my hands And I'll make demands
G/F# Em C D
That the clouds are asking what's wrong with him now

Am G G/F#
God, take that sound away
Em
If you've got something to say
D Dsus D
Say it now
Am G D
It's fake and I need you not to be fake
Am C
And don't care how you make me feel
D C D
Just so you're real
Verse 3
G C G
Once I saw my face in a bathroom mirror
G/F# Em C D
And I didn't know that I was here
G C G
But I knew my eyes and I knew my hands
G/F# Em C D
I knew God would now listen to all my demands
Chorus 3
G D C G
And the sky opened up And God interrupted
G/F# Em C D
The Earth stopped dying and stopped giving birth
G D C G
And when I came to on the cold, wood floor
G/F# Em C D
Well, I didn't feel so good anymore
G D C G
And all that sure love And all their sweet words
G/F# Em C D
I'd forgotten I'd felt and forgotten I'd heard
G D C G G/F# Em
That was was clear And is now so blurred and smeared
C
And your love felt more pure
Em C D
And your love felt more pure once your voice
