 Note: F chord is thumbed on the 6th string, as Paul often does.
 Also, Paul plays this with, I think, 2 different versions of some of the chords,
 like the Em and Am are played higher up on the fretboard for some parts, but I've just
 made it simple.
 Some of the chords probably aren't exactly right, but it's a start. Enjoy!
I  like the way you survive
 Just keep blowing  at that pretty blue flame that's
Burning  you alive
 It's time,  It's just ti-i-ime
The  shifting shoreline's hidden hands
 Might show  you one black feathered wing
 Sticking  up from the sand
 But you'll still fly,  you'll still fly
 Filler:
So  take a camera from the pile
 And if it speaks  less than a thousand words
 Yeah if  it tells a lie, you're right
 You're always ri-i-ight
 Before a new day arrives
 We'll leave our  buried shoeboxes,
Our capsules filled with time
Cmaj7
And come alive, we'll come to li--i---ife
 Ooh ooh,  ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh ooh,  ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh ooh,  ooh-ooh-ooh
So  take a camera from the pile
 And if it speaks  less than a thousand words
 Yeah if  it tells a lie, you're right
 You're always ri-i-ight
 Before a new day arrives
 We'll leave  our buried shoeboxes,
 Our capsules  filled with time
 And come alive,  we'll come to li--ife
The  way you hold your head up
 When you're  not even sure where your next moment's  coming from
 It's you,  it's just you-u-u
