B F#m A B

Verse 1:
  B              F#m
The first snow, first winter of my life
    A             B
I was told it was the height of me
  B                   F#m
The first dance, well, the first one that counted
       A                B
Felt like my blood was built from crackling lights

Pre-Chorus 1:
B         F#m
All this ancient wildness
   A        B
That we don't understand
  B         F#m
The first sound of a heartbeat
 A       B
To riots roaring on


Chorus:
B               F#m
This is not a love you've had before
           A            B
This is something else, this is something else
  B              F#m
This is not the same as other days
           A            B
This is something else, this is something else

  B              F#m
Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
           A            B
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth
   B                F#m
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
           A            B
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth

B F#m A B

Verse 2:
  B                 F#m
The first light, first light on the silent shore
      A            B
Just the ships that anchor me and you
   B              F#m
The way home, this is always the way home
      A             B
So you can rip that map to shreds, my dear


Pre-Chorus 2:
  B       F#m
But all we ever wanted
  A           B
See miles and miles from here
   B          F#m
In the first days in a strange new land
 A        B
We could be sailors


Chorus:
B               F#m
This is not a love you've had before
           A            B
This is something else, this is something else
  B              F#m
This is not the same as other days
           A            B
This is something else, this is something else

  B              F#m
Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
           A            B
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth
   B                F#m
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
           A            B
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth

B F#m A B
B F#m A B

Refrain:
  B              F#m
Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
           A            B
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth
   B                F#m
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
           A            B
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth
