(plucking is here) Am, C, G, F  

 

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep  

Dreaming about the things that we could be  

But baby, I've been, I've been playing hard,  

Sitting, no more counting dollars  

We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars  

           Am  
I see this life like a swinging vine  
C  
Swing my heart across the line  
G  
And my face is flashing signs  
F  
Seek it out and you shall find  
Am  
Old, but I'm not that old  
C  
Young, but I'm not that bold  
G  
I don't think the world is sold  
F  
I'm just doing what we're told

I feel something so wrong  
          F

F (1 strum)  
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
