{Verse 1}

So we d[G]rive at the fate of this deep phoenix [Em]sky
With it's contents that keep me [C]alive
Incessantly [D]breathing through the [G]night
Till we [G]crash with the white caps that ride on our [Em]backs
Breaking down on the sand of this [C]western coast
Where I [D]never once thought we would [G]stand

{Pre-Chorus}
But here we are [D]now
Riding [Em]currents that [C]taste of a new [D]town
Feeling [G]high as the [C]night's winding [D]down
And n[Em]ow all I [C]can see are white [Em]stars they span fore[D]ver

{Chorus}

[G]As I lay by a [D]streetlight not a word I could possibly [C]say
[G]To explain my [D]intrigue by how emphatic we are just to [C]be,

[Em]  [C]  [D]  [G]  [Em]  [C]  [D]
just to [G]be

{Verse 2}
Now we [G]run facing out at the southwestern [Em]sun
So content to be all so [C]undone
Cause here in these [D]moments we have [G]won
And I'm [G]sure that I've imagined these sites
But I [Em]forget why I was never enticed to go [C]out and try
But [D]tonight dream becomes [G]life

{Pre-Chorus}
Cause here we are [D]now
Riding [Em]currents they [C]taste of a new [D]town
We're so [G]high as the [C]night's winding [D]down
Just a [Em]spot on the [C]map of this l[Em]and it spans for[D]ever

{Chorus}

[G]As I lay by a [D]streetlight not a word I could possibly [C]say
[G]To explain my in[D]trigue by how emphatic we are just to b[C]e

{Bridge}

And I [Em]wont [D]take a [C]minute for [G]granted
I [Em]wont [D]waste another [C]word    [G]
These [Em]streets I would [D]kill to be [C]lost in

[G]  [D]  [D]  [C]
[G]  [D]  [D]  [C]

[G]I lay by a [D]streetlight as the summer air soaks in my [C]lungs
[G]Cause I lay by a [D]streetlight
How [D]impressive are we just to [C]live and breathe in this [G]world  [D]
And how [D]lucky am I to be [C]so alive in this [G]world  [D]
Oh how [D]precious are we just to [C]simply be in this [G]world

[G]  [D]  [D]  [C]
