Owl City – If My Heart Was a House

Standard Tuning:
capo On 1st Fret

Verse 1:

D A G
You’re the sky that I fell through
D C#/D
And I remember the view
Bm G
Whenever I’m holding you
D A G
The sun hung from a string
D C#/D Bm G
Looking down on the world as it warms over everything
D A G
Chills run down my spine
D C#/D
As our fingers entwine
Bm G
And your sighs harmonize with mine
D A G
On this day complete
D C#/D Bm G
I can still feel your heart beat fast when you dance with me

Pre-chorus:

Em D/F#m G A
We got older and I should’ve known (Do you feel alive?)
Em D/F#m G A
That I’d feel colder when I walk alone (Oh, but you’ll survive)
Em D/F#m G A
So I may as well ditch my dismay
G D A
Bombs away
G D A
bombs away

Chorus:

D F#m Bm G
Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
D C#/D
Back and forth
Bm G
If my heart was a compass you’d be north
D F#m Bm G
Risk it all cause I’ll catch you if you fall
D C#/D
Wherever you go
Bm G D A 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
