Capo 4th Fret

Chords (relative to Capo)

Em Am F (G5) (E5) Cmaj7
E -0----0----x-------------0---|
B -0----1----1-------------0---|
G -0----2----2---5----4----0---|

D -2----2----3---x----x----2---|
A -2----0----3---5----2----3---|
E -0---------1---3----0----0---|

Note: F chord is thumbed on the 6th string, as Paul often does.
Also, Paul plays this with, I think, 2 different versions of some of the chords,
like the Em and Am are played higher up on the fretboard for some parts, but I've just
made it simple.
Some of the chords probably aren't exactly right, but it's a start. Enjoy!

Intro:
Em

Em Am
I like the way you survive
G5
Just keep blowing at that pretty blue flame that's
E5
Burning you alive
F Am Em
It's time, It's just ti-i-ime

Em Am
The shifting shoreline's hidden hands
G5
Might show you one black feathered wing
E5
Sticking up from the sand
F Am
But you'll still fly, you'll still fly

Filler:
Em

Em Am
So take a camera from the pile
G5
And if it speaks less than a thousand words
E5 F
Yeah if it tells a lie, you're right
Am Em
You're always ri-i-ight

Am
Before a new day arrives
G5
We'll leave our buried shoeboxes,
E5
Our capsules filled with time
F Am Em Cmaj7
And come alive, we'll come to li--i---ife

Em Cmaj7
Ooh ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Em Cmaj7
Ooh ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Em Cmaj7
Ooh ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Em Am
So take a camera from the pile
G5
And if it speaks less than a thousand words
E5 F
Yeah if it tells a lie, you're right
Am Em
You're always ri-i-ight

Am
Before a new day arrives
G5
We'll leave our buried shoeboxes,
E5
Our capsules filled with time
F Am Em
And come alive, we'll come to li--ife

Em Am
The way you hold your head up
G5 E5
When you're not even sure where your next moment's coming from
F Am Em
It's you, it's just you-u-u
