Am      G         F
Come inside, the air I breathe
Am         G           F
While the band still plays
Am       G           F
It's the end of the coldest week
Am    G             F
Come down into the sea

       Am                       G
'Cause everybody wants to get away sometimes
    F
And everybody needs mistakes

Chorus:
          Am
When the sun breaks
C                   F
Over the edge of an English town
    Dm
It pulls me away
        Am
From a bad dream
C
I don't know why
        F
But I know I'm not
Dm          Am
Ever going back

In the dark, we can lose our sleep
We can both be kind
'Cause I don't need the pulling apart of sheets
Just to know who you are
But everybody wants to get away from something
Everybody lose their way

Chorus

F
It's a non-stop voice
G
That can lead you on
F            G    Am
But cannot change it

Chorus:
When the sun breaks
Over the edge of an English town
When the sun breaks
Over the edge of an English town
When the sun breaks
Over the edge of an English town
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
