[Verse 1]
Bm
Seeing Strangers hand in hand
A
reminds us where we've been
Bm
though left unsaid we understand
A
that we are not the same as them

[Pre-Chorus]
G
maybe it's been too lang we stayed in
G
maybe we're not all that amazing
F#                                           N.C.
upon closer examination of the components of love

[Verse 2]
Bm
The only sweetness I hear at home
A
Is the song that you sing when you think that you're alone
Bm
In crowded rooms I could hear you laugh at once
A
But by ourselves you haven't smiled like that for months

[Pre-Chorus]
G
maybe it's been too lang we stayed in
G
maybe we're not all that amazing
F#
upon closer examination of the components of love

[Chorus]
bm                             a
The skyline so pretty when the moons out
bm                          a
Twilight on the city and it zooms out
bm                              a
No address more or less, for the most part
bm                                  a
Quite serene and picturesquo like a postcard
bm                                 a
Like a dream evereything's wrapped into one
bm                                 a
From far away we are proud of what we become
bm                              a
But what's the matter with this thing gone upon closer examination

[Verse 3]
Bm
We either grow or remain untrue
A
The truth be told, I blame me more than you
Bm
Like every time when you asked to talk things through
A
and i supplanted conversation and I just sang to you

[Pre-Chorus]
G
maybe it's been too lang we stayed in
G
maybe we're not all that amazing
F#
upon closer examination of the components of love

[Chorus]
bm                             a
The skyline so pretty when the moons out
bm                          a
Twilight on the city and it zooms out
bm                              a
No address more or less, for the most part
bm                                  a
Quite serene and picturesquo like a postcard
bm                                 a
Like a dream evereything's wrapped into one
bm                                 a
From far away we are proud of what we become
bm                              a
But what's the matter with this thing gone upon closer examination

[Bridge]
Dmaj7          a                  F a
Holding on for all the wrong reasons,
Dmaj7                a              F a
Just going on in the absence of reason,
Dmaj7                         a              F a
It's been too long that we've lived without being
Dmaj7                G
Who we think we are, looks much better from afar

[Chorus]
bm                             a
The skyline so pretty when the moons out
bm                          a
Twilight on the city and it zooms out
bm                              a
No address more or less, for the most part
bm                                  a
Quite serene and picturesquo like a postcard
bm                                 a
Like a dream evereything's wrapped into one
bm                                 a
From far away we are proud of what we become
bm                              a
But what's the matter with this thing gone upon closer examination

[Outro]
