Death Cab for Cutie – Roman Candles (Guitar Acoustic)

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

C
Then they all disappear like sugar in my coffee

Em           C
(Sugar in my coffee)

G
A hint of sweetness but the bitterness remains

C
The acidity devouring my body

Em            C
(Devouring my body)

C        G
But I am learning to let go

Em           C
Of everything I tried to hold

G                     Em
Too long 'cause they all explode

      C         G
Like roman candles

G
I used to feel everything like a flame

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

Em          C
To feel anything

G
I watch the world from a window on a hill

C
Everyone moving as I’m standing still

Em           C
I'm standing still

C        G
But I am learning to let go

Em           C
Of everything I tried to hold

G                     Em
Too long 'cause they all explode

      C         G
Like roman candles

     Em  E
Ow, ooh

     C  G
Ow, ooh

    Em E
Ow, ooh

C        G
But I am learning to let go

Em           C
Of everything I tried to hold

G                     Em
Too long 'cause they all explode

      C         G
Like roman candles

      C         G
Like roman candles
