Chords

[Verse 1]
G                                         G
Roam, the phone is where I live til I get home

                                                Em
And when the doorbell rings you tell me that I have a key

                     Cmaj7
I ask you, how you know it's me

     G                                         G
The road, no road without a turn and if there was
The road would be too long
                       Em
What keeps us standing in this view

                          Cmaj7
Is the view that we can be brand new
[Chorus]
         G               Em
The landlady takes me up in the air

    C                        G      D/F#
I go, I go where I would not dare

      Em                C
Landlady shows me the stars up there

      C                                 G      D/F#
I'm weightless, weightless when she is there

                C                                   Em
And I'll never know, never know what starving poets meant

                   C                                    D
Cos' when I was broke, it was you that always paid the rent
[Verse 2]
 G                                             G
Space, her place is where I found my parking space

                                                   Em
And when I'm losing ground, you know she gives it back to me

                             Cmaj7
She whispers "don't do, just be"
[Chorus]
         G               Em
The landlady takes me up in the air

    Cmaj7                     G     D/F#
I go, I go where I would not dare

      Em                C
Landlady shows me the stars up there

      C                                 G       D/F#
I'm weightless, weightless when she is there

                C                                   Em
And I'll never know, never know what starving poets meant

                   C                                    D
Cos' when I was broke, it was you that always paid the rent
[Instrumental] Em7 Csus2 G D [Outro]
                 Em7
Every wave that broke me

                  Csus2
Every song that wrote me

                 G
Every dawn that woke me

                       D
Was to get me home to you, see

                  Em7
Every soul that left me

                   Csus2
Every heart that kept me

                        G
The strangers that protected me

                     D
To bring me back to you

             Em7
Every magic potion

               Csus2
Every false emotion

                       G
How unswerving our devotion

                               D
To the lies we know are almost true

                Em7
Every sweet confusion

               Csus2
Every grand illusion

                          G
I will win and call it losing

                         D
If the prize is not for you
