      [Verse 1]
G                                         G
Roam, the phone is where I live til I get home
                                                Em
And when the doorbell rings you tell me that I have a key
                     Cmaj7
I ask you, how you know it's me

     G                                         G
The road, no road without a turn and if there was

The road would be too long
                       Em
What keeps us standing in this view
                          Cmaj7
Is the view that we can be brand new

[Chorus]
         G               Em
The landlady takes me up in the air
    C                        G
I go, I go where I would not dare
      Em                C
Landlady shows me the stars up there
      C                                 G
I'm weightless, weightless when she is there
                C                                   Em
And I'll never know, never know what starving poets meant
                   C                                    D
Cos' when I was broke, it was you that always paid the rent

[Verse 2]
 G                                             G
Space, her place is where I found my parking space
                                                   Em
And when I'm losing ground, you know she gives it back to me
                             Cmaj7
She whispers "don't do, just be"

[Chorus]
         G               Em
The landlady takes me up in the air
    Cmaj7                     G
I go, I go where I would not dare
      Em                C
Landlady shows me the stars up there
      C                                 G
I'm weightless, weightless when she is there
                C                                   Em
And I'll never know, never know what starving poets meant
                   C                                    D
Cos' when I was broke, it was you that always paid the rent

[Instrumental]
Em7  Csus2  G  D

[Outro]
                 Em7
Every wave that broke me
                  Csus2
Every song that wrote me
                 G
Every dawn that woke me
                       D
Was to get me home to you, see

                  Em7
Every soul that left me
                   Csus2
Every heart that kept me
                        G
The strangers that protected me
                     D
To bring me back to you

             Em7
Every magic potion
               Csus2
Every false emotion
                       G
How unswerving our devotion
                               D
To the lies we know are almost true

                Em7
Every sweet confusion
               Csus2
Every grand illusion
                          G
I will win and call it losing
                         D
If the prize is not for you
