           C
I've been colder
G                              C    G7   C
Watching Harry Potter, looking older
          C
I've been hoping
  G                           C     G7   C
I have what it takes to keep rolling
        Am                       G
That the rise and the fall of the tides
      Am                    G
Won't catch me and wash me aside
     C                         G          Am      F
If I sit here and watch Harry Potter will I be alright?

[Verse 1]

C                       G
When I was little I ran up the hill
       Am               E
Chased cars and felt I didn't think I had
F          Am         F      G
Much time, much time, much time
    C                       G
And up where I'd climbed it felt so pretty
        F                        E
All the water flowed in from the sea to the city
      F             G        F     G
And I felt my life, my life, my life

[Chorus]
              C
But I've been colder
G                              Am    E
Sitting in my bedroom, looking older
                 F             G
Feeling like I'm underwater, smiling like a lie
F                 G
 Holding on to it all too tight
          C        G                          Am      E
I've been hoping I have what it takes to keep rolling
                       F
'Cause I will not stay underwater
    G
I'll walk outside
F               G            C
 I'll split the sky, I'll be alright

[Verse 2]

C                 G
I remember being seventeen
         Am                       E
Drinking cheap wine sitting on suburban streets
       F              C
To the galaxy feeling everything
        F                 G
We were   the cowboys that threw up in taxis
C                     G
Feels different being twenty-three
   Am                  E
I still throw up but I don't feel like me
     F                  G
Now Curtis is working in sales
        F                G
And I'd say I've lost my way a little bit

[Chorus]

          C
I've been colder
G                              Am    E
Sitting in my bedroom, looking older
                 F           G
Feeling like I'm underwater, smiling like a lie
F                 G
 Holding on to it all too tight
          C        G                          Am      E
I've been hoping I have what it takes to keep rolling
                       F
'Cause I will not stay underwater
    G
I'll walk outside
F               G              C
 I'll split the sky, I'll be alright

Tell all my friends, tell all my friends

[Verse 3]

               C         G                                C  G7  C
When I've been hopeless, standing on the edge and looking over
         C           G                       C     G7   C
When the night sits, heavy his hands on my shoulders
    C                     E7
And somewhere I can see a light on
C                      E7
Maybe there's always a light on
C                     E           Am            F
Maybe I've held on so tight and I just need to     cry
      C                       G
Maybe, life is ten colours on top of each other
   F                     E
It goes and it stops, it all comes at once
     F                               G
It's grief, love, and time, it's the seasons gone wild
    F                         G
A cathedral at night, it's an ocean of tides

[Chorus]

          C
I've been colder
G                              Am     E
Watching Harry Potter, looking older
                 F            G
Feeling like I'm underwater, smiling like a lie
F                 G
 Holding on to it all too tight
          C        G                          Am       E
I've been hoping I have what it takes to keep rolling
                       F
'Cause I will not stay underwater
    G
I'll walk outside
F               G              C
 I'll split the sky, I'll be alright

C E7 F E

            F                    G
Tell all my friends, tell all my friends
            F                    G                  C
Tell all my friends, tell all my friends, I'll be alright

C E7 F E

            F                    G
Tell all my friends, tell all my friends
            F                    G
Tell all my friends, tell all my friends


[Outro]

    C                        G
And up where I'd climbed it felt so pretty
        C                        G
All the water flowed in from the sea to the city
