A
How about every time I let you down
              F#m                    D
Just write it out and thank me later...
A
I was proud, maybe too proud to be patient
          F#m                    D
And maybe patience is the answer...

E
Then I found out, catching every drop of blood
         F#m                D
It never got you any closer, no
E
How about, you don't ask too many questions
        F#m                 D
I won't ask too many favours.

Chorus:
                         A
Always see you with the sun coming up
                    F#m         C#m
Every cliché in the goddamn book...
            D
Oh, that's how I think about us,
how it all should be
  E
Drowning underwater, least another week
           A
I think it all could change
                      F#m        C#m
Wouldn't ask except I lost my way
     D
Oh, now I think I'm ready, think I'm sure
E                                         A
Think we're ready, hope we're ready, yeah.

Broken rail of all the 7000 little problems
That you could face
You never fail, we always end up dancing
In a corner somewhere discreet
But if I were you I'd be with somebody else
And I could build myself a tower
If there was proof that blossoms lead to sorrow
I would live my life in flowers

Chorus:
Always see you with the sun coming up
Every cliché in the goddamn book
Oh, that's how I think about us,
how it all should be
Drowning underwater, least another week
I think it all could change
Wouldn't ask except I lost my way
Oh, now I think I'm ready, think I'm sure
Think we're ready, hope we're ready, yeah

                          E         D
I really hope we haven't got this wrong
            E           F#m
Hope we're ready, yeah...
                          E         D  E
I really hope we haven't got this wrong...

Chorus:
I Always see you with the sun coming up
Every cliché in the goddamn book
Oh, that's how I think about us,
how it all should be
Drowning underwater, least another week
I think it all could change
Wouldn't ask except I lost my way
Oh, now I think I'm ready, think I'm sure
Think we're ready, hope we're ready, yeah
