If all this is easy and all that we need

we’ve fallen behind, we’ve fallen behind

you can dig all you like and make a big pile

and I’m just a boy who gave an ear
Am A# Am A# F C F
write, it’s alright, I’m shedding my skin instead of these tears
F Am Dm
Swimming alone and torn in between
A# F C
life in a dream or life on a string
F Am Dm
living atop our own little hills
A# F C
perched for the kill, we’re perched for the kill
Dm C F
and you’re just a boy who strummed the right chord

and then all the earth, and then all the earth
F Am Dm
how can it fall so far behind

try to remind me, and I’ll try to remind
