         Dm             C
I find shelter in this way
       Dm        Am G
Under cover hideaway
Can you hear when I say
"I have never felt this way"?

Chorus:
             F                        Dm
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
               Am                           C
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?

Could I be, was I there?
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown whenever you leave
Please teach me gently how to breathe

And I'll cross oceans like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too

Chorus - x2

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?
