Chorus:
Em     C             G
I will always be the one
              D              Em
To break the news if it’s alright
  Cmaj7                  G     D
I never wanna bring you down, no
Em     C             G
I will always be the one
               D                Em
To speak the truth if it don’t hurt
  Cmaj7                 G     D
I never wanna see you frown, no

       G6
We're laid in
                        Em
I’m so happy that it’s raining out again
                          Am
I’m so made up that we’re naked in our bed
      C             D 
Like we were twenty-four, back when

Ooh, we'll hammer out
The deeper question needing sorting out
If there's an answer,
we'll find it without doubt
We're a little more than friends

Am7     G           Em7       Am7
    We fell through time and space
Am7      G    Em7       Am7
    And cast upon this place
Am7      G     Em7        Dsus4
    And so far we've been saved

Chorus:
Em     C             G
I will always be the one
             Dsus4   D   Em
To break the news if it’s alright
  Cmaj7                  G     D
I never wanna bring you down, no
Em     C             G
I will always be the one
               D                Em
To speak the truth if it don’t hurt
  Cmaj7                 G     D
I never wanna see you frown, no
Em  Cmaj7                  G     D
  I never wanna bring you down, no
Em  Cmaj7                  G   D
  I never wanna bring you down

It's raining out
I'm so made up, we've been makin' out
Watching movies in our dressing gowns
Like we were 24 or there about

What matters most?
Life's amazing but it's been a bumpy road
No more than lately,
things have been a little wild
Am I an adult or a child?
Don't feel any different now

We watch the world go by
And so far we've been fine

Chorus:
I will always be the one
to break the news, if it's alright
I never wanna bring you down, no
I will always be the one
to speak the truth, if it don't hurt
I never wanna see you frown, no
I never wanna bring you down
We fell through time and space
We chanced upon this place
And so far, we've been safe

I will always be the one
to break the news, if it's alright
I never wanna bring you down
I will always be the one
to speak the truth, if it don't hurt
I never wanna see you frown, no
I never wanna bring you down

I will always be the one
to break the news, if it's alright
I never wanna bring you down, no
I will always be the one
to speak the truth, if it don't hurt
I never wanna see you frown
Never wanna see you down
Never wanna see you down, no
