Intro: [C - Am - Em - G] x2


Verse 1 chords:
C Am Em G
We won't get far,
C Am Em G
Flying in circles inside a jar
C Am Em G
Because the air we breathe
C Am Em G
Is thinning with the words that we speak


Chorus 1 chords:
F C G
That we speak, you and me-e-e-e
F C Am F
That we speak, you and me-e-e-e


Verse 2: use verse 1 chords
You're on the floor
Fearful of what's outside your door
But the codes and keys
They can protect you
From the pangs of jealousy


Chorus 2: use chorus 1 chords
F C G
When you scream, love you see-e-e-e
F C Am
Like a child, throwing stones at the sky-y-y-y
F C G
When they fall back to earth, as minor chords of major works
F C Am F
Separate rooms of single life, we are one, we are alive


Outro: [use verse 1 chords]
We are alive
We are alive
We are alive
We are alive
