turn to a miracle,      high alive.

Em         Am       G           D           Dsus4  D  Dsus2
My mind is racing,      as it always will.

Oh              lonely deep sit hollow.

Half a world, half a world away.

I've had too much to drink.

   Em             Am       D             G
I didn't think, I didn't think of you.

I guess that's all        I   need-ed.

Pathetic eyes, high alive.

D                 Dsus4  D Dsus2      Em       Am     D
Blind to the tide                that turns the sea.

     G                           D   Dsus4  D  Dsus2
This storm it came up strong.

   Em                  Am         D          G
It shook the trees and blew away our fear.

I couldn't even          hear.
