G#m                 A                    E
Nothing's happened, you can calm down now.
G#m                       A
You're not a monster and no one's
                     E
going to shut you out.
G#m                    A                   E
Mum and Dad love you, you can come home now.
    G#m
Of course your friends love you,
  A                      E
what are you talking about.
G#m                            A
Have the strength to push away all
the pain from yesterday,
E
Cause there's nothing worth crying about.
     G#m
Your heart is a candle and
A                           E
I won't let you blow it out.

So what, you messed up, at least it
won't happen again
Every time I screw up, I feel I've let down
all my friends
Stumbling through a thousand stars and neon cars
break through my skull
(Stumbling through a thousand stars
and neon cars break through my skull)
There's so much life out here in space,
it's crazy that we're here at all
(There's so much life out here in space,
it's crazy that we're here at all)

(Crazy that we're here at all)
(Crazy that we're here at all)
(There's so much life out here in space,
it's crazy that we're here at all)
(There's so much life out here in space,
it's crazy that we're here at all)
(There's so much life out here in space,
it's crazy that we're here at all)
(There's so much life out here in space,
it's crazy that we're here at all)
