_______________________________________________________________________
Capo on 3rd fret, which makes this key Eb
(all chords and fingerings relative to capo)


Intro (very basal here, add complex things that sound nice if you like)
Sounds nice to just strum and change fingering on the H and e-string.
Listen to the song to figure it out, very easy indeed...

Verse I

C         Fmaj7  C                                G
I take a breath  and pull the air in till there's nothing left
C           Fmaj7  C                     G                
I'm feeling green  like teenage lovers between the sheets


Chorus:

Play intro (twice)
ba ba ba ba... (C Fmaj7 C G, once every time)


Verse II:

C                    Fmaj7  C                     G
knuckles clenched to white  as the landing gear retracts for flight
C              Fmaj7 C                  G
my head's a balloon  inflating with the altitude


Chorus: 

ba ba ba ba...


Bridge/End:
C                     Fmaj7                             
i watch the patchwork farms slow fade into the ocean's arms
C                               Fmaj7
and from here they can't see me stare the stale taste of recycled air
C      G              Em             F 
i watch the patchwork farms slow fade into the ocean's arms
C         G             Em                   F            C
calm down, release your cares the stale taste of recycled air
