Verse 1
[C]
The great protector
[Em7]
Is that what I'm supposed to be?
[Fmaj7]
What if all this counts for nothing
[F#m7b5]
Everything I thought I'd be?
[G7]
What if by the time I realize
[G7sus4] [G7]
It's too far behind to see?
[C]
Seventy-mil projector
[Em7]
I can show you everything, yeah
[Fmaj7]
And we're on our way to glory
[F#m7b5]
Where the show won't ever end
[G7]
And the encore lasts forever
[G7sus4] [G7]
And it's time we're due to spend
[Fmaj9] [Fmmaj9]
Verse 2
[C]
Spending the years together
[Em7]
Growing older every day (Every day)
[Fmaj7]
I feel at home when I'm around you
[F#m7b5]
And I'll gladly say again
[G7]
I hope the encore lasts forever
[G7sus4] [G7] [Fmaj9]
Now there's time for us to spend
[Fmmaj9]
And it's sublime with you, my friend
[C]
This right here still feels like a honeymoon
[Em7]
When you say my name, nothing's changed
[Fmaj7]
I'm still a boy inside my thoughts
[F#m7b5] [G7]
Am I meant to understand my faults?
Chorus
[C]
I don't think so
[Em7]
I don't think I'm meant to understand myself
[E7sus2] [Fmaj7]
Maybe you do
And that's good for you
[F#m7b5] [G7]
Maybe in time
[G7sus4]
Maybe one day
[G7] [C]
I'll do the same
[Em7]
ooo OOO ooo

[G7]
(I'll do the same
[G7sus4]
I'll do the same
[G7]
I'll do the
[Fmaj7] [Em7] [Dm7] [D7]
same...
[Gm7] [F#maj7] [Fmaj7]
Bridge
[Fmaj7]
I'll do the same as you
[Em7]
I'll try and hold it up
[Dm7]
Soon I hope
[D7] [Gm7] [Gbmaj7] [Fmaj7]

Outro
[Bb] [Dm7] [Dm7b5]
Stay forever, you know more than anyone (Yeah, whoa)
[Cm7]
And it's you that knows my darkness
And you know my bedroom needs
[Bbmaj7]
You could blast me and my secrets
[Bb7]
Because there's probably just no need
