Death Cab for Cutie - Roman Candles

[Verse 1]
A
It’s been a battle just to wake and greet the day
D
Then they all disappear like sugar in my coffee
F#m D
(Sugar in my coffee)

[Verse 2]
A
A hint of sweetness but the bitterness remains
D
The acidity devouring my body
F#m D
(Devouring my body)

[Chorus]
D A
But I am learning to let go
F#m D
Of everything I tried to hold
A F#m
Too long ’cause they all explode
D A
Like roman candles

[Verse 3]
A
I used to feel everything like a flame
D
But now it’s a struggle just to feel anything
F#m D
To feel anything

[Verse 4]
A
I watch the world from a window on a hill
D
Everyone moving as I’m standing still
F#m D
I’m standing still

[Chorus]
D A
But I am learning to let go
F#m D
Of everything I tried to hold
A F#m
Too long ’cause they all explode
D A
Like roman candles

[Bridge]
D E
Ow, ooh
D A
Ow, ooh
F#m E
Ow, ooh

[Chorus]
D A
And I am learning to let go
F#m D
Of everything I tried to hold
A F#m
Too long ’cause they all explode
D A
Like roman candles

[Outro]
D A
Like roman candles

F#m D A F#m
