Chorus:
          Bm
We don't define each other
              Bm
Stand on your own, be a pillar
           Gmaj7
Lay on my pillow
                         Dmaj7
Ain't fairly new to each other
                                 Em
Call you my lover, drinks to my liver
                        D#maj7
I cried now a river full of tears

Dmaj7
Don't you
ever hope
     D#maj7   Dmaj7
for something else?
Dmaj7
Don't you
ever hope
     D#maj7   Dmaj7
for something else?

 D7                                Gmaj7
Breeze outside my window turned to color
D#maj7                       Dmaj7
Know that I will see the sun again
Dmaj7              Gmaj7      Dmaj7
Leaves have turned into a tint of orange
D#maj7                       Dmaj7
Answers that will lie inside myself

             G
What will I leave behind me?
               E
Where will I choose to go?
              G
To tell the truth, I'm tired of falling
           A
When I'm floating, I'm closer to you

Chorus:
We can't control all the outcomes
Let go of the reins, ride the rhythm
Doubled my vision
Ain't fairly new to this feeling
Searchin' for meaning, still don't believe it
Stopped at the ceiling, all these years
Lightly floating ecstasy
Don't you ever hope for something else?

Breeze outside my window turned to color
Know that I will see the sun again
Leaves have turned into a tint of orange
Answers that will lie inside myself

What will I leave behind me?
Where will I choose to go?
To tell the truth, I'm tired of falling
When I'm floating, I'm closer to you

Chorus:
We don't define each other
Stand on your own, be a pillar
Lay on my pillow
Call you my lover, drinks to my liver
I cried now a river full of tears

Don't you ever hope for something else?
