G G Bm E C
There was a point I started barking like a dog
G Bm E C G Bm E C
My command of new languages did not impress you but the howling drew a crowd
G Bm E C G Bm E C
The view from your roof was obscured by the street lights glowing red
G Bm E C G Bm E C
The cloud cover sucked up the sound like a new quilt tuck-tied to your bed
G6 G6/C
You called it a stunning sunset
G6 D
I call it the last of the good light
C F C
And perfect waste of the night Already upon us yeah
(repeat solo)
C Cm C Cm Am F
oh yeah ah ooh
oh yeah
G6 G6/C
You called it a stunning sunset
G6 D
I call it the last of the good light
C F C
And perfect waste of the night comin down on us
G6 G6/C
You said that we could wait for sunrise
G6 D
I don't have that kind of time
C F
And we left the wasted night
waiting for the soft rewind
C G C G
And the voice said: This is us
C G C G
This is us
C G C G
This is us
C G C G
This is us
