Owl City - If My Heart Was A House

capo 1 , standard tuning .

i just strum; it sounds pretty good ( :

verse 1 :

D A Em G
you’re the sky that i fell through
D A
and i remember the view
Em G
whenever i’m holding you
D A Em G
the sun hung from a string
D A Em G
looking down on the world as it warms over everything
D A Em G
chills run down my spine
D A
as our fingers entwine
Em G
and your sighs harmonize with mine
D A Em G
on this day complete
D A Em G
i can still feel your heart beat fast when you dance with me

pre – chorus :

Bm A G A
we got older and i should’ve known ( do you feel alive? )
Bm A G A
that i’d feel colder when i walk alone ( oh , but you’ll survive )
Bm A G A
so i may as well ditch my dismay
G D A
bombs away
G D A
bombs away

chorus :

D A Em G
circle me and the needle moves gracefully
D A
back and forth
Em G
if my heart was a compass you’d be north
D A Em G
risk it all cause i’ll catch you if you fall
D A
wherever you go
Em G D A Em G
if my heart was a house you’d be home

verse 2 :

it makes me smile because you said it best
i would clearly feel blessed if the sun rose up from the west
flower balm perfume , all my clothes smell like you
cause your favorite shade is navy blue
i walk slowly when i’m on my own ( do you feel alive? )
yeah , but frankly i still alone ( oh , but you’ll survive )
so i may as well ditch my dismay
bombs away , bombs away
