[Intro]
D Gm Cm  x5


[Verse 1]
            D                      Gm
It's just coincidence Well you can talk that way
      Cm                     D
But I have to say, I don't believe in it
         Gm                  Cm                  D
It was a chill of chance I decided to dance the days away
                         Gm   Cm                          D
And I wasn't worried at all Sneaking through the back door
                         Gm   Cm
No, I wasn't worried at all Dreams are what you live for


[Chorus 1]
Am                            D     G D        C
Waiting for the light to turn green   Carry me home
       Am                            D  G D        C
To the kindest eyes that I've ever seen   Carry me home
     Am                          D   G   D           C
Well can you tell me how will it be now, How will it be?
Am                          D   G   D           C     D
Can you tell me how will it be now? How will it be?


[Verse 2]
D            Gm                   Cm                   D
Well we were younger then And the days were long and slow
            Gm            Cm              D
But were we wiser then? I couldn't say, I wouldn't know
                         Gm    Cm                   D
But I wasn't worried at all I had someone to run to
                         Gm     Cm
And I wasn't worried at all I knew which way the wind blew


[Chorus 2]
Am                        D     G D        C
Counting out the chaos in bloom   Carry me home
      Am                                     D G D        C
And I watched the ceiling spin 'round the room   Carry me home
     Am                          D   G   D           C
Well can you tell me how will it be now? How will it be?
Am                          D   G  D           C
Can you tell me how will it be now How will it be?


[Refrain 1]
       Am     G F E                E7
In the real world How would it be?
       Am     G F E                E7
In the cold world How would it be?
     Am       G F E                E7
In a lonely world How would it be?
         Am           F    E            E7
Will the ghosts just stop Following me?
                D          C  D  C
No, now drawn into the sun
           D        C  D  C
He was the only one


[Instrumental]
Am D G D C  x4


[Refrain 2]
       Am     G F E                E7
In the real world How would it be?
     Am          G F E                E7
In a cold cold world How would it be?
          Am            G F E                E7
Beck and call Beg and crawl How would it be?
       Am             F   E             E7
Will the ghosts just stop Following me?
                D          C  D  C
No, now drawn into the sun
           D        C  D  C
He was the only one


[Outro]
    C  G         Am        F G
And so,  I'll remember you
        C                        G                    Am               F G
I'll remember the days and the thousands of ways you pulled me through
    C    G              Am            F  G
And dream  of all the things you've seen
    C                 G              Am          F G
Of all the faces and all the places you have been
         C                     G                    Am            F G
Now you have no phone and you have no name and you have no number
         C                      G                     Am             F G
And it comes to an end in the blink of an eye and it makes me wonder
