Verse 1:
       G       Cadd9
We're in the rain, in outer space
      A7sus4                       Cadd9
And I can't fathom an explanation for what we're doing in this place
     G          Cadd9
Now your hair clings to your cheek
      A7sus4               Cadd9
I brush it aside ever so gently, thank you for being here for me

Chorus:
Em    Cadd9    G
It's not easy staying clean, wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen
Em        Cadd9          G
It feels like I'm slipping behind a screen of nighlights and suicidal tendencies
Em    Cadd9       G
It's not easy feeling cold like burning numb hands under a water stream
Em       Cadd9        G
Wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen


Verse 3:
       G           Cadd9
We're in the snow, under the milky way
    A7sus4              Cadd9
And no matter how hard I try to, I can't possibly explain
      G          Cadd9
My shaking hands and my breaking bones
           A7sus4              Cadd9
There's nothing like whispers in your mind to keep you aware that you're alone


Chorus:
Em    Cadd9    G
It's not easy staying clean, wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen
Em        Cadd9         G
It feels like I'm slipping behind a screen of nighlights and suicidal tendencies
Em    Cadd9      G
It's not easy feeling cold like burning numb hands under a water stream
Em       Cadd9        G
Wouldn't it be nice to be evergreen


Verse 5:
Cadd9           G
In moments like this it's hard to breathe steadily
Cadd9            G
The world is spinning and my hands shake uncontrollably
Dm6            G
Life's a hair, one gentle blow and it could be gone
Dm6          Cadd9
And I've never felt so afraid


Instrumental:

G, Cadd9, A7sus4, Cadd9


Verse 6:
       G        Cadd9
We're on the earth, on solid ground
      A7sus4         Cadd9
Do you have any idea how lucky you are to be around
G        Cadd9
You're not alone, please never forget
  A7sus4        Cadd9
My arms are your second home
