 -  x4
 Don't look ahead,  just run  to me
 Each step will  find the next one  recklessly
 We'll find ourselves  on the safest  ledge
 Well, pardon  me, I couldn't help  myself
 Girl, fall into  your  life here
 If only  for a  while, I'm  here
Could  you be happy  to fall  like a stone
 If you'd land right here safe  in my arms?
 It's fine, lock  all your doors  through the night
 Keep it all right here, safe  in my arms
 It's fine,  it's fine
 Then,  -  x2
 You felt alone  before you  ever really  knew how alone  you were
 An empty  house, a lonely  room
 The TV  talks the fear right  out of you
 But you feel like someone's  standing  by, but you'll  never know
Could  you be happy  to fall  like a stone
 If you'd land right here safe  in my arms?
 It's fine, lock  all your doors  through the night
 Keep it all right here, safe  in my arms
  (mute)
 It's fine
 The sun burns a hole straight  through your old flaws
 If you look toward the sky even  on your greyest night
Could  you be happy  now, with the wind  in your hair
 And your eyes  open  wide and your feet  going nowhere?
Could  you be happy  to fall  like a stone
 If you'd land right here safe  in my arms?
 It's fine, lock  all your doors  through the night
 Keep it all right here, safe  in my arms
  (mute)
 It's fine
 Please note:
 I tabbed the chords on the bridge according to what the bass is playing.
 If you listen carefully you'll notice the chords are right, you just have to learn the timing.
 The chords in the "with the wind in your hair..." part are also tricky.
 I've put the ones that, in my opinion, sound better.
 As always, if you have any corrections, feel free to comment, but please, be polite!

But you feel like [F]some[G]one's s[F]tanding by, but yo[G]u'll never know

The [F]sun [G]burns [Am]a  [Em]hole [Am]straight through your [C]old [G]flaws
If you [F]look [G]toward [Am]the [Em]sky [Am]even on your [Dm]greyest [G]night
[F]Could you be [G]happy now, with the [Am]wind in your [Am/G#]hair
And your [Am/G]eyes o[Am/F#]pen wide and your [F]feet going n[G]owhere?

[Cadd11]Could you be h[C]appy to f[Bb]all like a s[Am]tone
If you'd [F]land [G]right [Am]here [Em]safe in my [F]arms[Fm]?
It's [Cadd11]fine,  [C]lock all your [Bb]doors through the [Am]night
