Cm          D#                 A#
Breathe air you're not used to,
tread floors you don't fall through
Cm         D#
Make waves...
                    A#
You crash a symbol hard Follow no one,
always play the wrong card
Cm        G#
Waste days, in foreign places
A#          D#
Shed lights, on your better side
Cm       G#                       A#
Reassure me that you'll wait for me,
wait for me as long as it takes!
         G#                    A#
And I'll hold my breath, I'll hold my breath

Chorus:
D#
Until you see me in your dreams
Cm
We'll stay awake beneath the trees
G#
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A#
A sky of diamonds just for us
D#
You are the risk I'll always take
Cm
The only branch I'll never break
G#                               A#
Those fears we'll blow them all way,
we'll blow them all away

Fight fires in your best clothes
Touch skin with your eyes closed
Chase thunder with the volume down
Pack a suitcase, wander to the next town
Force quit on your losing streak
Solve a riddle in a magazine, be tongue in cheek
Tell me that we're still too young
That we're still too young and I'll hold my tongue

Chorus

G#        D#          Fm
I'm here, I'm here to take you
          A#             G#
I'll swim, I'll swim to save you
No fall, I'm here to catch you
I'll swim, I'll swim to save you
