Outro:
Fm           C
  I've been battling a broken heart
Fm           C
  Everybody knows I'm torn apart
C             D
 Since I was eight years old and I thought that
Dm    C
God was a girl in my school huh
Fm            C
  If we can wind up on a sandy beach
Fm             C
  Breathin' air that only death can reach
F               Fm
 And singing songs that only heaven leaves
   C    D
It's okay with me
Fm             C
  And God is wanting us to make believe
Fm             C
  But knowing something is only a dream
  F            Fm
Like  the absolutes and the in-between
  C        D           Dm
Are out of line, sometimes, intertwined, behind
      C                     N.C.
A mind, in line, and fights that only fools are still trying to fight
