    Bsus2                       F#m
The first snow, first winter of my life
       A                         Bsus2
I was told it was the height of me
    Bsus2                                F#m
The first dance, well the first one that counted
               A                             Bsus2
Felt like my blood was built from crackling lights

Bsus2            F#m
Oh this ancient wildness
      A              Bsus2
That we don't understand
    Bsus2             F#m
The first sound of a heartbeat
    A            Bsus2
To riots roaring on

Chorus:
Bsus2                           F#m
This is not a love you've had before
                       A
This is something else, this is something else
Bsus2                          F#m
This is not the same as other days
                       A
This is something else, this is something else
   Bsus2                           F#m
It shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
                      A
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth
   Bsus2                            F#m
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
                      A
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth

The first light, first light on the silent shore
Just the ships that anchor me and you
The way home, this is always the way home
So you can rip that map to shreds, my dear

But all we ever wanted
Seemed miles and miles from here
And the first days in a strange new land
Awaken beasts in us

Chorus

It shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth, it's just life on earth
