Roman Candles Chords by Death Cab for Cutie

[Verse]

A
It’s been a battle just to 

Wake and greet the day

D
Then they all disappear 

Like sugar in my coffee

F#m           D
(Sugar in my coffee)
 
 
[Verse]

A
A hint of sweetness 

But the bitterness remains

D
The acidity devouring my body

F#m            D
(Devouring my body)
 
 
[Chorus]

D             A
But I am learning to let go

F#m          
Of everything 

D
I tried to hold

A                    F#m
Too long 'cause they all explode

      D         A
Like roman candles
 
 
[Verse]

A
I used to feel everything

 Like a flame

D
But now it’s a struggle 

Just to feel anything

F#m          D
To feel anything
 
 
[Verse]

A
I watch the world 

From a window on a hill

D
Everyone moving as 

I’m standing still

F#m           D
I'm standing still
 
 
[Chorus]

D             A
But I am learning to let go

F#m           D
Of everything I tried to hold

A                    F#m
Too long 'cause they all explode

      D         A
Like roman candles
 
 
[Bridge]

     D  E
Ow, ooh

     D  A
Ow, ooh

    F#m E
Ow, ooh
 
 
[Chorus]

D             A
And I am learning to let go

F#m           D
Of everything I tried to hold

A                    F#m
Too long 'cause they all explode

      D         A
Like roman candles
 
 
[Outro]

      D         A
Like roman candles

 
F#m   D        A    F#m    
D6    Dmmaj7   Dm   Dm D5
