Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Verse:
Em                      Em
Drifting apart, getting harder to hold you
Em                        Em
Days getting dark and the nights are growing cold
       C            D
Are we burning out?
   Em                       Em
Swept out of sight, rolling up on an ocean
      Em                        Em
Letʼs cut all the ropes and get lost in the moment
       C                D                     Em
If our hearts are alive, maybe then they might
                    Em
Send us back to the sun

Chorus:
      C       G
And I know, I know
           B7                Em
That weʼre losing light, our love is dying
C               G
Out cold on the floor
       B7               Em
Like a fallen star that shines no more
C            G
Take, take-a-me
Am                     Em
back to where it was before
                C G   Am  Em
When we were on fire, fi--re

Verse:
Em                      Em
Head down, heading underground feeling wasted
Em                    Em
Cold to the bone, so alone I can taste it
      C          D
Letʼs light it up
  Em              Em
Streets are alive now, and everythingʼs bracing
Em                         Em                      C     D
Youʼre on my mind, running in my veins fueling the flame
                Em
Letʼs start it again

Chorus:
      C       G
now I know, I know
           B7                Em
That weʼre losing light, our love is dying
C               G
Out cold on the floor
       B7               Em
Like a fallen star that shines no more
C            G
Take, take-a-me
Am                     Em
back to where it was before
                C G   Am  Em
When we were on fire, fi--re
           C G   Am  Em
We were on fire, fi--re

Em                                Em
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa-oh-oh, now donʼt tell me no
That weʼre burning down
Em                                Em
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa-oh-oh, and donʼt tell me no
That weʼre burning now

Chorus:
      C       G
now I know, I know
           B7                    Em
That weʼre losing light, and our love is dying
C               G
Take, take me home
B7
back to where it was before
                C G   Am  Em
When we were on fire, fi--re
      C       G
now I know, I know
           B7                    Em
That weʼre losing light, and our love is dying
C               G
Out cold on the floor
       B7               Em
Like a fallen star that shines no more
C            G
Take, take-a-me
Am                     Em
back to where it was before
                C G   Am  Em
When we were on fire, fi--re
           C G   Am  Em
We were on fire, fi--re
