[Intro]
| Am |
| Am | F | C | Gadd11 G |
[Verse 1]
Am F Try not to worry there's a voiceover C Gadd11 G Go on, go quiet for a change Am F We can dial down the daylight a little C Gadd11 G I think the candy blue sky's messing with our brains
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F We must have hit our heads C Don't expect familiar feelings G No one knows what to talk about Dm Just come lay down here on the couch
[Chorus]
C Drop down out of the clouds you're in Em G Drop down like an alien Dm C I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in Em G Drop down like an alien
[Post-Chorus]
| Am | Fmaj7 | C | G |
[Verse 2]
Am Fmaj7 I'll find you something fun to wear C That goes along with all your feelings G We'll go extremely vivid Am Buttoned up and unrevealing Fmaj7 I can be your nurse or something C Bring you watermelon nicotine G Am I can hold a swimmer here to the shore by a string
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 Hurry up, we don't have time C Avalanches in my mind G I'm getting buried in this dream Dm It's just as soapy as it seems
[Chorus]
C Drop down out of the clouds you're in Em G Drop down like an alien Dm C I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in Em G Drop down like an alien
[Bridge]
Am F There's this one old idea I'm having C G Am Stuck in a car wash somewhere and you can't stop laughing F Off the rails and no one's coming to get us C Gadd11 G I think I like it here, so I'm gonna let 'em forget us
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C Hurry up, we don't have time Em Avalanches in my mind G I'm getting buried in this dream F It's just as soapy as it seems
[Chorus]
C Drop down out of the clouds you're in G Drop down like an alien F C I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in Dm C G Drop down like an alien
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
F C Drop down out of the clouds you're in Dm C G Drop down like an alien F C I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in Dm C G F Drop down like an alien
