            D#      A#        G#
You're the sky that I fell through
        D#          A#
And I remember the view
    Gm        G#
Whenever I'm holding you
D#       A#           G#
The sun hung from a string
         D#          A#          Gm
Looking down on the world as it warms over
G#
everything

Chills run down my spine as our fingers entwine
And your sighs harmonize with mine
Unmistakably, I can still feel your heart
Beat fast when you dance with me


Fm     Gm       G#             A#
We got older and I should've known
(Do you feel alive?)
Fm             Gm         G#      A#
That I'd feel colder when I walk alone
(Oh, but you'll survive)
Fm    Gm          G#          A#
So I may as well ditch my dismay
       G#  D#  A#
Bombs away
       G#  D#  A#
bombs away

Chorus:
D#     Gm         Cm            G#
Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
D#         A#
Back and forth
      Cm           G#
If my heart was a compass you'd be north
D#      Gm             Cm            G#
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall
    D#        A#
Wherever you go
       Cm          G#             D#
If my heart was a house you'd be home

It makes me smile because you said it best
I would clearly feel blessed if
the sun rose up from the West
Flower balm perfume, all my clothes smell like you
'Cause your favorite shade is navy blue

I walk slowly when I'm on my own
(Do you feel alive?)
Yeah, but frankly I still feel alone
(Oh, but you'll survive)
So I may as well ditch my dismay
Bombs away
Bombs away

Chorus

If my heart was a house, you'd be home
