Cos now I only see my dreams, in everything I touch

Feel their cold hands on, everything that I love

Cold like some, magnificant skyline
A Em G
Out of my reach, but always in my eyeline now

We're tumbling down

PRE-CHORUS:
Bm F#m
But everytime I reach for you, you slip through my fingers
A Em
Into cold sunlight, laughing at the things that
Bm F#m
I had planned, the map of my world gets
A Em G
Smaller as I sit here, pulling at the loose threads now
CHORUS (with riff):
G A Bm A
We're tumbling down
G G
We're spiralling
A Bm A
Tied up to the ground
G
We're spiralling
G A Bm A
When we fall in love
G G
We're just falling
A Bm A
In love with ourselves
G G
We're spiralling
BRIDGE:
Bm - A x9 (Tom speaks over these chords)
Did you wanna be a winner?
Did you wanna be an icon?
Did you wanna be famous?
Did you wanna be the president?
Did you wanna start a war?
Did you wanna have a family?
Did you wanna be in love?
(Bm)
Did you wanna be in love?
Bm - A x8
(I never saw the light
I never saw the light
I waited up all night
But I never saw the light)
CHORUS(with riff)
