Intro: E E7 A Am

Verse:
E             E7
  Playing the    perfect blues
A                       Am
  Happy moments, take a    breath
E           E7
  Singing a    perfect tune
A                        Am
   Feeling creatures in the depth
E                     E7
  Perfect background,    perfect light
A               Am
   Perfect scenery, perfect sight
E                    E7
   Perfect sunshine,    perfect night
A                Am
   Perfect everything, perfect life

Pre-chorus:
F#m                          B
Pulling out thoughts from an empty cry
F#m                       B
Steel heart passion with no fine tie

Chorus:
    E      E         Amaj7            Am
I scream pleading to take me (Take me far away)
  E        E              Amaj7        Am
I   feel guilty singing "Take me" (I slumber today)
    E          E       Amaj7
Oh, I pray to make new waves
        Am
Feeling     blue (A phase)

Post-chorus:
E
  Swimming metaphorically
E7
  Drowning in gravity
A
  Diving for a piece of me
Am
  Calming serenity

Verse:
E              E7
  Rocking back    through the blues
A                          Am
  Seeking refuge through the trench
 E              E7
Taken by ankle down ocean cruise
 A                     Am
Lulled by sirens here to drench
 E         E7
Singing a gentle snooze
   A                Am
Pleading guilty, I repent
      E              E7
Deprived of oxygen, scared to lose
 A                    Am
Candlelit fire, burnt and spent

Pre-chorus:
F#m                          B
Pulling out thoughts from an empty cry
F#m                         B
Steel heart passion with no fine tie
F#m                              B
Stitching the thoughts from a desired lie
F#m                B
Forging fantasies that arenʼt mine

Chorus:
    E      E         Amaj7            Am
I scream pleading to take me (Take me far away)
  E        E              Amaj7        Am
I   feel guilty singing "Take me" (I slumber today)
    E          E       Amaj7
Oh, I pray to make new waves
        Am
Feeling     blue (A phase)

Post-chorus:
E
  Swimming metaphorically
E7
  Drowning in gravity
A
  Diving for a piece of me
Am
  Calming serenity
