[Intro]
| Am |
| Am | F | C | Gadd11 G |

[Verse 1]
Am                                      F
Try not to worry there's a voiceover
C                Gadd11       G
Go on, go quiet for a change
Am                              F
We can dial down the daylight a little
C                                          Gadd11                 G
I think the candy blue sky's messing with our brains

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                              F
We must have hit our heads
                                   C
Don't expect familiar feelings
                                           G
No one knows what to talk about
                                                   Dm
Just come lay down here on the couch

[Chorus]
                   C
Drop down out of the clouds you're in
Em           G
Drop down like an alien
Dm                   C
I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in
Em            G
Drop down like an alien

[Post-Chorus]
| Am | Fmaj7 | C | G |

[Verse 2]
Am                                          Fmaj7
I'll find you something fun to wear
                                                 C
That goes along with all your feelings
                               G
We'll go extremely vivid
                               Am
Buttoned up and unrevealing
                                     Fmaj7
I can be your nurse or something
                                        C
Bring you watermelon nicotine
                                   G                                  Am
I can hold a swimmer here to the shore by a string

[Pre-Chorus]
                                       Fmaj7
Hurry up, we don't have time
                             C
Avalanches in my mind
                                        G
I'm getting buried in this dream
                                   Dm
It's just as soapy as it seems

[Chorus]
                   C
Drop down out of the clouds you're in
Em            G
Drop down like an alien
Dm                   C
I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in
Em            G
Drop down like an alien

[Bridge]
Am                           F
There's this one old idea I'm having
C                                G                                              Am
Stuck in a car wash somewhere and you can't stop laughing
                                      F
Off the rails and no one's coming to get us
C                                 Gadd11             G
I think I like it here, so I'm gonna let 'em forget us

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                                  C
Hurry up, we don't have time
                             Em
Avalanches in my mind
                                        G
I'm getting buried in this dream
                                    F
It's just as soapy as it seems

[Chorus]
                   C
Drop down out of the clouds you're in
                 G
Drop down like an alien
F                      C
I'll go outside, cry, and come right back in
Dm           C              G
Drop down like an alien

Drop down like an alien
