I play the intro in the form of chords. The chords are simple and repetitive. It may not be 100% accurate (especially the chords after the bridge), but it sounds close enough! Intro D A Bm G Verse 1 D A I'm a thousand miles from home Bm sleeping in my clothes G living like I've never have before D A When the city falls into the sea Bm I try and make myself believe G A that I matter here but I'm only losing sleep Pre-chorus D A If only I could feel less indifferent Bm G then maybe I could be more existent Chorus D A I'm dreaming hopelessly Bm G in a city by the sea D A It's taken me so long Bm G to sing a simple song Bm A D I don't belong Verse 2 D A On the rooftop late at night Bm writing songs about my life G Praying day will break before I close my eyes D A I wish I had a little more to miss Bm than friends that don't exist G A and the town that felt like scars across my wrist Pre-chorus D A If only I could feel less indifferent Bm G then maybe I could be more existent Chorus D A I'm dreaming hopelessly Bm G in a city by the sea D A It's taken me so long Bm G to sing a simple song Bm A D I don't belong D A Bm G (x2) Bridge D A Bm G If only I could feel (less indifferent) D A Bm G If only I could feel (less indifferent) D A Bm A G Chorus D A I'm dreaming hopelessly Bm G in a city by the sea D A It's taken me so long Bm G to sing a simple song Bm A D I don't belong Bm A D I don't belong Bm A D I don't belong
