[Intro]
C  Am  C  Am

[Verse]
Am                C         
No this is not my guitar
                     Am
I’m bringing it to a friend
               C
And no I don’t sing
                 Am
I’m only humming along

[Verse]
C              F
Up here in the air
         C               F
I’m just mumbling at the clouds
C             F
Wanting to be known
        C               F       Am  C  Am  C  
While I pass the lonely hours

[Verse]
Am                   C
I came down from the room
                 Am
I saw you in the rain
                   C
Laughing with some people
                        Am
Hair dripping down your face

[Verse]
C                  F
Your calm hypnotic eyes
     C            F
Your Scandinavian glow
  C                F
I felt them like a flame
C                 F     Am C Am C
Candle in my cold bones

[Verse]
Am                  F
Tonight you were my muse
     C            F
As I belted and I strummed
C             F
Trying not to drown
       C          F      C  F  C  F  C
In the helicopter drone

[Chorus]
Dm    C
Alesund
G     C

[Instrumental]
C  F  C  F  C  G  C  Am  C  F  Am  C  F  

[Verse]
Am               C
From the crowd I heard
                  Am
You sing a pretty line
                         C
Was it: “there's so much love -
             Am
That I wanna cry”

[Verse]
C                  F
I thought about it long
        C               F
Had you repeat it in my ear
   C                F
“I couldn't place a thought

        Am           C        Am  C  Am  C
Without you being so close”

[Verse]
Am                  C
Should’ve played it then
                      Am
From the intro to the end
                         C
When they offered me the stage
                     Am
At the bar we landed in

[Verse]
C                F
But I turned and walked
C                 F
Away from all the fun
    C             F
And back into the black
C                F    Am    C    F 
Seaside night of Alesund

[Chorus]
Dm    C

G     C

G     C

[Outro]
Am  C  Am  C  Dm  C  G  C  G  Em  Dm  G
