[Intro] Bm C Bm C Em [Verse 1]
        G            Em        F#m
I don't wanna go home 'til the light is comin' out

   Em
My thoughts are slowly driftin' back onto the grounds

             G        Em       F#m
And when I'm all alone  and my head is spinnin' out

         Em
I'm just waitin' for your voice to pull me back into the clouds

      F#m Em
Well, paradise lives in a state of mind

        D                  F#m                 C             G
And the lines keep gettin' blurry 'cause we're all afraid of life

       F#m      Em
But my heart's alive, and it's bleedin' out alone

         D          F#m                   C             G
I'm just sittin' in my room, I can't stop starin' at my phone
[Pre-Chorus]
        F#m      Em
But I'm reachin' out (I'm reachin' out)

          Em
Yeah, I'm reachin' out (I'm reachin' out)

            D       F#m   C  G
Oh, can you hear me now? (Oh-oh)

      Em
Whoa-oh

                Em
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

                Em
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

               N.C.
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
G    Em             F#m                              Em
Stop tryin' to work out why something feels good and let it all in

             G    Em             F#m                             Em
Just need to stop tryin' to work out why something feels good to let it begin
[Verse 2]
       F#m    Em
It's a common thing, when the fear is speakin' out

           D            F#m              C                   G
And to get caught in the pressure of the things that drag me down

      F#m      Em
But I want the truth, I keep searchin' for the proof

       D              F#m         C               G
And distracted by the existential questions of my future
[Pre-Chorus]
        F#m      Em
And I'm reachin' out (I'm reachin' out)

          Em
Yeah, I'm reachin' out (I'm reachin' out)

            D       F#m  C G
Oh, can you hear me now?

      Em
Whoa-oh

                Em
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
             G    Em             F#m                              Em
Just need to stop tryin' to work out why something feels good and let it all in

                   G    Em             F#m                             Em
Yeah, just need to stop tryin' to work out why something feels good to let it begin

[Interlude]
             G Em F#m
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

    Em
Yeah, oh

          G Em F#m
Whoa-oh-oh

Em
Oh
[Instrumental] Bm C Bm C [Outro]
              G F#        Bm         Em
Well, lift me up, lift me higher up again

D                 C             G        F#
 To leave all the madness of my thoughts

             Bm                 Em D          C         G  F#
When all the words come rushin' in, I need to be lifted up

        Bm         Em
Lift me higher up again

D          C              G    F#
 I want to walk in all my love

              Bm              Em   D           C            G  F#
'Cause all my love for you is real, I want you to be lifted up

       Bm Em       D  C
Lifted up,  lifted up

     G F#
Oh-oh

             Bm Em      D      C
Yeah, lifted up,  yeah, higher

       G     F#      Bm     Em
Lifted higher, yeah, higher

       D     C G     F#
Lifted higher, higher

Bm    Em D      C
Higher,  higher
