Chords

You may notice a differentiation between Cmaj7 and C in the chorus, however I feel as though they are interchangeable (maybe the piano plays C while guitar plays Cmaj7?). Also, playing C/G or Cmaj7/G could give it a fuller sound. Up to you. [Chorus]
Am              D     Bm    Em   Bm Am
You know you're never gonna feel as right

Bm                     Cmaj7
Than in your gold past life

Am        D     Bm   Em  Bm Am
A ship of paper on a sea of fire

Bm                     C
Back to your gold past life
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7
Helplessly staring at the stagnant stars

              Dm
What was this thing that took your spirit away?

Am
Head on the bug splattered hood of your car

    G     Cmaj7
You pray
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7
Breathlessly calling up your old love

            Dm
Why did she have to take your essence from you?

            Cmaj7
Life's been rougher but lately it's pretty rough

    Amaj7
For you
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7
You used to dance in the night

                Amaj7
With a girl you loved so much

Cmaj7                                              Am
You used to look her in the eyes as the nightbirds sang
[Chorus]
Am              D     Bm    Em   Bm Am

Than in your gold past life

G                      Cmaj7
Back to your gold past life
[Verse 4]
Gmaj7
Helplessly staring at a cumulus

                 Dm
What caused this flood that washed your courage away?

          Cmaj7
With your heart in a knot you cry for love and loss

           Amaj7
For all of us
[Verse 5]
Cmaj7
You used to stare into the void

                      Amaj7
With the love of your life

Cmaj7
You used to whisper in her ear

              Am
"Little butterfly..."
[Chorus]
Am              D     Bm    Em   Bm Am
You know you're never gonna feel as right

Bm                     Cmaj7
Than in your gold past life

A ship of paper on a sea of fire

Back to your gold past life
