G
Roam, the phone is where
I live til I get home

And when the doorbell rings you tell me that
   Em
I have a key
                    Cmaj7
I ask you, how you know it's me

     G
The road, no road without
a turn and if there was
The road would be too long
                       Em
What keeps us standing in this view
                       Cmaj7
Is the view that we can be brand new

Chorus:
         G               Em
The landlady takes me up in the air
   C                          G
I go, I go where I would not dare
     Em                 C
Landlady shows me the stars up there
     C                                   G
I'm weightless, weightless when she is there
                 C
And I'll never know,
                                Em
never know what starving poets meant
                  C
Cos' when I was broke,
                                 D
it was you that always paid the rent

Space, her place is where
I found my parking space
And when I'm losing ground,
you know she gives it back to me
She whispers "don't do, just be"

Chorus

                  Em7
Every wave that broke me
                 Csus2
Every song that wrote me
                 G
Every dawn that woke me
                       D
Was to get me home to you, see

Every soul that left me
Every heart that kept me
The strangers that protected me
To bring me back to you

Every magic potion
Every false emotion
How unswerving our devotion
To the lies we know are almost true

Every sweet confusion
Every grand illusion
I will win and call it losing
If the prize is not for you
