verse 1
F A
The thrill here is quicker than you'd think
A#
The way some jet-lagged bar kept pouring the wine

From over their heads then sit back down again

Four times is once too much for luck
A#
And that's how many times the clock struck
F C
I wandered home, saying your name
C F C
verse 2
F A
The arches here were built 'cause they don't fall
A#
The cat dead drawls to make you feel small
F C
You might find your small soul

Leave the preaching to the president
The crowd cheers, his eyes get wet

I'm full as it is, I'm full as it is
F C
So don't feed me more
A A# F C
You'll be having my head, big as a birthday
A A# F C
'Cause I left all my doubts on the airplane

I didn't know, I didn't know I'm not in control

I didn't know, I'm not invincible

F A
And maybe some things are better left unsaid
A# F C
But if you wanted to test that, I will, yeah, I guess, I could've said
F A
But there were nights in bars that I recall
A#
Your breath was courage laced with alcohol
F C
You leaned in, you said,
A A# F C
"Make music with the chatter in here,
A A# F C
And whisper all the notes in my ears."

verse 4
(F) A
A#
The dim lit peacocks in the trees,
F C
They're hiding their eyes and their beauty, like me
F A
But if my eyes were on my back
A#
I know what I'd be looking at
F C
Through every shade of brown and green
