[Intro] E B A E B A [Verse 1]
E B         A                    E
I   want to cross stitch shut my eyes

B        A                E
  Wage a war on the world outside

B           A               F#
  Brace the barricade in my mind,

A 
  But that’s alright
[Verse 2]
E B             A                     E
I   stretch the truths ’til they lose shape

B       A                   E
  As support beams bend and break

B         A               F#
  Watch reality’s slow cascade,

A
  But that’s alright
N.C. And I’ve been thinking… [Chorus]
E          B            C#            G#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?

A         C#             B
  I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay

E        B          C#          G#
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?

A     C#      B

E B A [Verse 3]
E B           A               E
I   watch the sun dry out the grass

B          A               E
  Hear the silence shatter glass

B          A                 F#
  Feel perfection swerve and crash,

A
  But that’s alright

F# A
   Yeah, but that’s alright

Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time
