Capo 3 to play these chord shapes along with the video
 
NOTE: In his Subtract Sundays video for this song, Ed uses the 4-finger chord shapes for Em, C, and G
(Em7: 022033, Cadd9: x32033, G: 320033)
 
[Verse 1]
Em                        C                     G
Rain keeps beating on our rooftop, muddying the glass
                     C
But, God, I love the sound of Heaven
Em                       C
Sat cross legg-ed on the carpet
             G                  C
Listening to vinyl, trying to ignore the weather
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em                      C
 This week was heavy, I buckled under all the weight
G                    D
 What can you do but pray?
Em                           C
 And count your blessings it wasn't any other way
G                     D     D
 Don't leave it up to fate
 
 
[Chorus 1]
             Em           G                D     D
Fighting the tide but the waves, they will part
             Em             G          D
Light up the night, we were made to be stars
       C          C          C     C
But it burns like Hell to be Vega
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em                       C                           G
Clouds keep forming over this house blocking out the sun
                      C
I'm trying to keep it all together
Em                       C                     G
One door closes then one opens, gotta keep the focus
                     C
If we'll believe and she'll get better
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em                          C
 The days are long but they pass within an instant, babe
G                    D
 It is the strangest thing
Em                            C
 I'll count my blessings, the day I see you smile again
G                      D     D
 This war we've got to win
 
 
[Chorus 2]
          Em                 G            D      D
Keep it inside, don't let no one see your heart
           Em               G           D     D
No one can judge, we're the same in the dark
 
             Em            G                D     D
Fighting the tide, but the waves, they will part
             Em             G          D
Light up the night, we were made to be stars
       C          C          C      C
But it burns like Hell to be Vega
 
 
[Bridge]
Am             G
 Same problems, different options
Em               D
 Pain comes at a cost, but we've got this
Am            G
 Need respite, bleed time dry
Em              D
 She'll be fine, she'll be fine
Am             G
 Same problems, different options
Em               D
 Pain comes at a cost, but we've got this
Am            G
 Need respite, bleed time dry
Em              D               D
 She'll be fine, she'll be fine
 
 
[Outro]
Em                        C                    G
Rain keeps beating on the rooftop, worrying to death
                     C
But, I guess this is human nature
Em                        C                            G
We are made to shine like stars but that don't mean it don't burn
      C
Like Hell to be Vega
