[Verse]
G                    D
When did I lose my voice?
G            D               Em7
When did I make the choice to be
           D             Em7   D   
living so easy in the quiet?
G               D
Too much of restless thinking
G               D               Em7
But they say time is everything
         D                    Em7   D  
You came and opened up the silence

[Pre chorus]
     Em7     G
So I lie awake,
        Cadd9                 D
writing symphonies trapped inside me,
       Em7   G            Cadd9 
But now I know, what you give to me,
      D                     G   D   Em7   D   
I'm living with the poet's heart,   heart

[Chorus]
              G                         D
Now all the lights turned on and I'm never gonna stop
         G                       D
As the words come out, it's because you lit the spark
        Em7                         D
You're a priceless, timeless, precious work of art
      Em7              
Though everywhere you are,
       D                     G
I'm living with the poet's heart.

[Verse]
G              D
Whisper to me again
G                  D                 Em7
You fall from my ears straight to my pen,
             D            Em7
How did you see right through?
                  D
It's like you're always new.

[Pre Chorus]
    Em7     G
So I lie awake
         Cadd9            D
writing symphonies, you awoken me
       Em7   G              Cadd9
Cause now I know, what you sing to me,
     D                     G   D   Em7   D
I'm living with the poet's heart,  heart.

[Chorus]
              G                         D
Now all the lights turned on and I'm never gonna stop
         G                       D
As the words come out, it's because you lit the spark
        Em7                         D
You're a priceless, timeless, precious work of art
      Em7              
Though everywhere you are,
       D                     G
I'm living with the poet's heart.

G   D   G   D  
        Oh, oh

[Pre Chorus]
    Em7       G            Cadd9
So let's lie awake, making history
       D
Yeah, you and me
      Em7      G
Cause now we know,
             Cadd9
so won't you sing to me,
     D       D   Dsus   D  
our melody, yeah

[Chorus]
              G                         D
Now all the lights turned on and I'm never gonna stop
         G                       D
As the words come out, it's because you lit the spark
        Em7                         D
You're a priceless, timeless, precious work of art
      Em7              
Though everywhere you are,
       D                     G
I'm living with the poet's heart.
G   D    Em7   D 
Heart,   heart

[Outro]
        Em7                    G
Now my feet won't touch the ground,
            Cadd9             D
Yeah, we're flying high homeward bound
        Em7                    G
Take my hand, yeah, just like that.
           Cadd9     
We'll keep riding, riding
       D           Cadd9          D      G          
Don't look back, don't look back, no, no...
