[intro]
G Bm C Bm
The sky is turning and longing for something far away
G Bm C Bm
The moon's a tear drop, see slowly as he falls away
C Bm C Bm
Miles running down a face, everything's bound to change
C Bm
It's bound to change
Em G Em G
Day breaks of tenderness, so hold me here like this
Am7 C G G
So still and quiet, as if it might keep you happy, oh oh oh
C C
Keep you happy, oh oh oh
G G
Keep you happy, oh oh oh
C Csus9
Keep you happy
A feeling has me and tells me it will never stay
Your heartbeats miles now, I feel them as they run away
Close gets so far away, close gets so far
Day breaks of loneliness
I'd weather all of this
If I could find a place where I'd
Keep you happy, oh oh oh
Keep you happy, oh oh oh
Keep you happy, oh oh oh
Keep you happy
Bm Em C Bm
Why do we pretend there is something to hold onto
Em C Bm Am7
See how my world fell in, I was trying to hold you
Bm Am7
I was trying to hold you
Night is a gypsy, he tells me he will never stay
Miles are like heartbeats, I know them as they fly away
See how they fly away, see as I fly
Day breaks of restlessness, I'm filled with all of this
But deep inside, what will I find to keep me happy, oh oh oh
Keep me happy, oh oh oh
Keep me happy, oh oh oh
Keep me happy, oh oh oh
