Gravity - John Mayer

DO# si , DO# si si la sol mi
Gravity is working against me
DO# si si , DO# si la sol sol
And gravity wants to bring me down

si si la la , si si la la
Oh I'll never know what makes this man
si la la , sol si la si
With all the love that his heart can stand
RE DO sol , sol RE DO sol la la
Dream of ways to throw it all away

DO# si si , DO# si si la sol mi
Gravity is working against me
DO# si si , DO# si la sol sol
And gravity wants to bring me down

si si la la , si si la la
Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
si la la , sol si la si
It can't sustain like one half could
RE DO sol
It's wanting more
sol RE DO sol la la
That's gonna send me to my knees 2x

DO# si si , DO# si la si la sol mi
gravity , stay the hell away from me
DO# si si , DO# si la si la sol
And gravity has taken better men than me


si la sol mi sol
Just keep me where the light is
si la sol mi sol
Just keep me where the light is
si la sol mi sol
Just keep me where the light is
RE si , si la sol mi sol
Come on , keep me where the light is
RE si , si la sol mi sol
Come on , keep me where the light is
