NOTE: In his Subtract Sundays video for this song, Ed uses the 4-finger chord shapes
for Em, C, and G (Em7: 022033, Cadd9: x32033, G: 320033)
[Verse 1]
Em C G Rain keeps beating on our rooftop, muddying the glass C But, God, I love the sound of Heaven Em C Sat cross legg-ed on the carpet G C Listening to vinyl, trying to ignore the weather
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em C This week was heavy, I buckled under all the weight G D What can you do but pray? Em C And count your blessings it wasn't any other way G D D Don't leave it up to fate
[Chorus 1]
Em G D D Fighting the tide but the waves, they will part Em G D Light up the night, we were made to be stars C C C C But it burns like Hell to be Vega
[Verse 2]
Em C G Clouds keep forming over this house blocking out the sun C I'm trying to keep it all together Em C G One door closes then one opens, gotta keep the focus C If we'll believe and she'll get better
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em C The days are long but they pass within an instant, babe G D It is the strangest thing Em C I'll count my blessings, the day I see you smile again G D D This war we've got to win
[Chorus 2]
Em G D D Keep it inside, don't let no one see your heart Em G D D No one can judge, we're the same in the dark Em G D D Fighting the tide, but the waves, they will part Em G D Light up the night, we were made to be stars C C C C But it burns like Hell to be Vega
[Bridge]
Am G Same problems, different options Em D Pain comes at a cost, but we've got this Am G Need respite, bleed time dry Em D She'll be fine, she'll be fine Am G Same problems, different options Em D Pain comes at a cost, but we've got this Am G Need respite, bleed time dry Em D D She'll be fine, she'll be fine
[Outro]
Em C G Rain keeps beating on the rooftop, worrying to death C But, I guess this is human nature Em C G We are made to shine like stars but that don't mean it don't burn C Like Hell to be Vega
