Chords

For me, this one's up there with Transatlanticism. [Verse 1]
A                    F#m                      C#m
  All the east coast blue bloods have come out west

      A                F#m                C#m       E
And I watch them argue about who loved you the best

          D               F#m
I was conspicuously of my kind

     D                              C#m
Overdressed, but woefully under-refined

          D                        A                       C#m    E
Well‚ the story held together like boulders with a piece of twine
[Chorus]
D
  Three helicopters circling

A            C#m   C#
  Retreating and returning

D                       Esus   F#m
  Your photographs were on the news

          B7               Dmaj7   Esus  F#m
And I was there just out of view
[Verse 2]
A                       F#m                   C#m
  I was standing with a smile chiseled into my head

       A                      F#m                     C#m      E
With a mind in retreat to the places I wished I would've been

         D                         F#m
When you caught my gaze‚ I turned away

           D                     C#m
Planned an exit like a grand escape

     D                                A                       C#m   E
As I watched you spinning through the revelers like a cheap ballet
[Chorus]
D
  These words all sound familiar

A             C#m  C#
  Convictions are forever

D                    Esus  F#m
  You tied a wish to a balloon

           B7           Dmaj
Watched it fly into the blue
[Bridge]
            Esus         F#m    Bm
But you will find some day soon

             D
That it will fall

            E              Dmaj7  Esus  F#m
Yes‚ it will fall, they all do
[Refrain]
                Dmaj7  Esus  F#m
Because they all do

                Dmaj7  Esus  F#m
Because they all do

        Dmaj7  Esus  F#m
They all do

                D   E  F#m
Because they all do
[Outro] D E F#m (x7) Dmaj7 Esus F#m (x4)
