You gotta think about it

You gotta make a wish and count to ten

There's just a sense of wonder

I feel a new direction looking down the lens

Jump started the action

Heard a song in my head and wrote it down

It came out of nowhere

Felt a new sensation driving you through town
[Chorus]
Am             F                      C
You're an open chord I wanna play all day

Am                   F             C
A new broom sweeping up the sins I no longer play

Dm
Cleaning out the corners

Clipping out the horrors

Gotta pinch myself just to believe

Everybody's having something

But I can tell you've got some magic up your sleeve

Some deep protection

Bb/C
When a feeling follows you around

F/C
I always need the silence

C                               G
Or the lightning you bring like a new good sound

You're an open chord I'm gonna play all day

C
Sat around and waited for a spark

Bb/C
And it brightened up the night

F
Before I get much older

C                               G
I want the pleasure of seeing you up in lights

C
I could then beside you

Bb/C
Hand over my heart and say a prayer

F
Love's not for quitters

C                    G
It's a satisfaction, knowing that you're there
[Chorus]
Am             F                      C
You're an open chord I wanna play all day

Am                   F             C
A new broom sweeping up the sins I no longer play

Dm
Cleaning out the corners

G
Clipping out the horrors

That the Devil used to make me wear all day
