[INTRO]
E A
[VERSE 1]
E A E* D
The gravity here is just sick for revenge
C#m D E*
It's like my lungs are filled with chains
A D
The sky seems so low it hasn't moved this slow
A D E
Since the virgin, since the virgin went dancing for the rain
E* A E* D
You know the stars in the night, they're like the holes in the cave
C#m D E
Or like the ceiling, like the ceiling of a bombed-out church
A D
But gravity blocks my screams it's like an enemy's dreams
A D E
My guardians quit, they quit before they started their search
[CHORUS]
E* A E*
I want a world without gravity
A B A B A E
It could be just what I need, what I need
A B
I'd watch the stars move close, I'd watch oh, I'd watch the earth recede
[VERSE 2]
E* A E* D
I wanna drift above the borders against my will
C#m D E
I wanto to sleep I wanna sleep where the angels don't pass
A D
But now my lips are blue gravity does it to you
A D E
It's like they're pressed, like they're pressed against a mirrored glass
E* A E* D
I want my will and capability to meet inside the region
C#m D E
Where this gravity, this gravity don't mean a thing
A D
It's where the angels break through. it's where they bring it to you
A D E
It's where silence, silence can teach me to sing
[CHORUS]
E* A E*
I want a world without gravity
A B A B A
It could be just what I need
E* A B
I'd watch the stars move close, I'd watch oh yeah I'd watch the earth recede
