Death Cab for Cutie – Roman Candles (Guitar)

A
It’s been a battle just to wake and greet the day

D
Then they all disappear like sugar in my coffee

F#m           D
(Sugar in my coffee)

A
A hint of sweetness but the bitterness remains

D
The acidity devouring my body

F#m            D
(Devouring my body)

D             A
But I am learning to let go

F#m           D
Of everything I tried to hold

A                    F#m
Too long 'cause they all explode

      D         A
Like roman candles

A
I used to feel everything like a flame

D
But now it’s a struggle just to feel anything

F#m          D
To feel anything

A
I watch the world from a window on a hill

D
Everyone moving as I’m standing still

F#m           D
I'm standing still

D             A
But I am learning to let go

F#m           D
Of everything I tried to hold

A                    F#m
Too long 'cause they all explode

      D         A
Like roman candles

     D  E
Ow, ooh

     D  A
Ow, ooh

    F#m E
Ow, ooh

D             A
And I am learning to let go

F#m           D
Of everything I tried to hold

A                    F#m
Too long 'cause they all explode

      D         A
Like roman candles

      D         A
Like roman candles
