   B                            F#m
The first snow, first winter of my life

       A                          B
I was told it was the height of me

    B                                     F#m
The first dance, well, the first one that counted

              A                                B
Felt like my blood was built from crackling lights
[Pre-Chorus 1]
B                  F#m
All this ancient wildness

     A               B
That we don't understand

    B                  F#m
The first sound of a heartbeat

  A              B
To riots roaring on
[Chorus]
B                             F#m
This is not a love you've had before

                      A                       B
This is something else, this is something else

    B                            F#m
This is not the same as other days

                      A                        B
This is something else, this is something else

    B                           F#m
Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard

                     A                       B
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth

     B                               F#m
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me

                     A                        B
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth
B F#m A B [Verse 2]
   B                                 F#m
The first light, first light on the silent shore

           A                       B
Just the ships that anchor me and you

      B                           F#m
The way home, this is always the way home

           A                          B
So you can rip that map to shreds, my dear
[Pre-Chorus 2]
   B             F#m
But all we ever wanted

   A                     B
See miles and miles from here

     B                   F#m
In the first days in a strange new land

 A               B
We could be sailors
[Chorus]
B                             F#m
This is not a love you've had before

                      A                       B
This is something else, this is something else

    B                            F#m
This is not the same as other days

                      A                        B
This is something else, this is something else

    B                           F#m
Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard

                     A                       B
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth

     B                               F#m
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me

                     A                        B
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth
B F#m A B B F#m A B [Refrain]
    B                           F#m
Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard

                     A                       B
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth

     B                               F#m
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me

                     A                        B
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth
