Capo on 2nd fret
               
 
D 
Can you feel it  
                          A 
In the air like you can breathe it  
                                Bm 
Watch it break through the ceiling  
        D                        A 
And you know it ain't coming down 
D 
And i made it,  
                         A 
Like a song you keep repeating  
                       Bm 
Now my heart is overheated  
D                             A 
And i'm tired of it burning down 
 
Bm 
Cuz i've been back and forth  
A 
I've been back and forth baby  
D 
Trying to let it go 
Bm 
Trying to make it look easy  
D                     A 
Now i can't hold back  
 
D 
The butterflies  
                          A 
You brought them back to life 
                  Bm D 
Now i'm alive inside  
A 
You brought them back to life  
D 
Tonight 
                       A 
 the world is on our side  
                     Bm D 
I feel the spark ignite  
          A 
You brought me back to life  
D 
Back to life 
 
D 
I was waiting 
                            A 
On the edge of something wicked  
                             Bm 
Never thought i'd find a reason 
D.                       A 
To lower my guard and try  
D 
Now i see it  
                           A 
In your eyes, something deeper 
                          Bm  
And you wore me like a fever 
D                           A 
And i'm ready to walk the line  
 
Bm 
Cuz i've been back and forth  
A 
I've been back and forth baby  
D 
Trying to let it go 
Bm 
Trying to make it look easy  
D                     A 
Now i can't hold back  
 
D 
The butterflies  
                           A 
You brought them back to life 
                   Bm D 
Now i'm alive inside  
A 
You brought them back to life  
D 
Tonight 
                       A 
 the world is on our side  
                     Bm D 
I feel the spark ignite  
          A 
You brought me back to life  
D 
Back to life

A 
But im afraid to let it out  
Bm.                                        D  A
