    D
I breathe in slow to compose myself
         A/C#
But the bleeding heart I left on the shelf
          G
Started speeding now beating half to death
              Bm                  D/C#
Cause you're here and you're all mine

       D
So I press my lips down onto your neck
       A/C#
And I stay there and I reconnect
              G
Bravery I've been trying to perfect
       Bm          A/C#
It can wait for a while

G              D
Scared of the hope in my head
           A                      Bm  A/C#
it's been making me sweat but it turns out
G                      D
You're here with your head on my chest
A
I should'a guessed

Chorus:
          D                         A/C#                    G
That the world will turn and we'll grow we'll learn how to be
    Bm    A/C#  D
To be incomplete

I breathe out now and we fall back in
Just like before we can re-begin
Let your lungs push slow up against my skin
Let it all feel just right

Gone is the emptiness
We just take what's best and we move on
All of the hurt gets left
I should've guessed

Chorus:
That the world will turn and we'll grow
We'll learn how to be
To be incomplete
This, here, now, it's where we
Touch down, you and me
Let's be incomplete

G                 D
How did we go without
A                    Bm             A/C#
I don't know but it looks like we've made it again
G                          D    A
Tell me you'll never look down down

Chorus:
'Cause the world will turn and we'll grow
We'll learn how to be
To be incom...

I don't want to look down
I don't want us to break up in the clouds
All I want is to stay us, to stay with you now
I don't want to look down
I don't want us to break up in the clouds
All I want is to stay us, to stay with you now

Chorus:
And the world will turn and we'll grow
We'll learn how to be
To be incomplete
And this, here, now, it's where we
Touch down, you and me
Let's be incomplete
