G
I need a bed
D
That nobody’s slept in
G
I need some air
D
That nobody’s been breathing
G
I need a thought
D
That I can believe in
A
Is this fog
Or is the building really burning

G
I need you now
D
Much more than ever
G
I’m making new friends
D
But none of them matter
G
Maybe now
D
We don’t fit together
A
But you’ve got your arms around
No one but strangers

(chorus)

D
I feel fine
G
With the sun in my eyes
D
The wind in my hair
G
When I ‘m falling out of this sky
D G
I’m doing better than I thought I would
D
But nothing’s ever as good
G
As when you’re on top


I want to wake up
And just start running
Into a ditch
Or straight up a mountain
I want to get
Where no ones’s been gettin’
Make it deeper than hell
Or make it higher than heaven
I need someone whose price hasn’t been met
When everybody’s disappearing
By the minute
There isn’t anyone left
That I haven’t met yet
Well I remember
When they hadn’t gotten to you yet

(chorusx2)

(bridge)
Bm
Half way up
G
And over this rainbow
D
I heard a shot
A
Fire up from the ghetto
Bm
As I drop
G
I didn’t think you’d follow
E
Just didn’t know D....G.....D.....G

The sky was this shallow
(solo

play around with those notes.


I need a garden
Where nothings forbidden
I need an apple
That no one’s been eatin’
I want to start again
Back at the beginin’
I had a vision
That this feeling maybe has an ending

(Chorus)
