Intro F  A  A#  C  F 
 
 
verse 1 
F                                     A 
The thrill here is quicker than you'd think 
                                 A# 
The way some jet-lagged bar kept pouring the wine 
                           F                    C 
From over their heads then sit back down again 
F                               A 
Four times is once too much for luck 
                              A#         
And that's how many times the clock struck 
F                            C 
I wandered home, saying your name 
 
 
C  F   C 
 
 
verse 2 
 
F                                            A 
The arches here were built 'cause they don't fall 
                                A# 
The cat dead drawls to make you feel small 
          F               C 
You might find your small soul 
F                               A 
Leave the preaching to the president 
 
The crowd cheers, his eyes get wet 
    A#                               
I'm full as it is, I'm full as it is 
F                C 
So don't feed me more 
 
 
 
A                   A#                  F    C 
You'll be having my head, big as a birthday 
       A             A#               F      C 
'Cause I left all my doubts on the airplane 
C                               F         C 
I didn't know, I didn't know I'm not in control 
C                            F 
I didn't know, I'm not invincible

verse 3 
F                                       A 
And maybe some things are better left unsaid 
                                A#                       F              C 
But if you wanted to test that, I will, yeah, I guess, I could've said 
F                                      A  
But there were nights in bars that I recall 
                                   A# 
Your breath was courage laced with alcohol 
           F       C 
You leaned in, you said,  
 
 
 
A                    A#           F   C 
"Make music with the chatter in here, 
A                   A#            F   C 
And whisper all the notes in my ears." 
C                               F         C 
I didn't know, I didn't know the way of my tongue 
C                                    F 
I didn't know, I didn't know what I'd done

verse 4 
 
(F)                                   A 
The lights here are softer than you'd think 
                            A# 
The dim lit peacocks in the trees, 
                                    F            C 
They're hiding their eyes and their beauty, like me 
F                         A  
But if my eyes were on my back 
                           A# 
I know what I'd be looking at 
                       F         C 
Through every shade of brown and green 
 
 
Outro
 
C                              F           C 
I didn't know, I didn't know it was nothing new 
C                                  F 
I didn't know, I didn't know it was you
