Am        G
I live a life of love
Dm                     Am
Hold me down, hold me down
            G               Dm
I live the life of letting go

Under a starlight night
I wrap myself in a thin sheet of ice
Out there the stars are crystalized

F  Am   C                   Em
Ooooh, find me in the backyard
F  Am   C                   Em
Ooooh, find me in the backyard in the dark
F  Am   C                   Em
Ooooh, find me in the backyard
F  Am   C                   Em
Ooooh, find me in the backyard

Chorus:
           Am           G
Cause you colour me clear
      Dm
Now what are you, what are you waiting for?
          Am            G
Yeah you colour me clear
      Dm
Now what are you waiting for?

See how my mountains turn
From blue to black, from white to gray
I'm a bird, and a broken one

The drops illuminate
And evaporate into a neon lake
I'm a beast, and a vicious one

(Ooh, ooh-ooh) Find me in the backyard
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) Find me in the backyard in the dark
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) Find me in the backyard
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) Find me in the backyard
