Intro: CAmGF
Verse:
CAmG
Whoʼs gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames
G
If we know the steps anyway?
CAmG
We embroided the memories of the time I was away
G
Stitching "we were just kids, babe"
FAm
I said "I donʼt mind. It takes time."
CGC
I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed
FAmGC
I felt a glow like this, never before, and never since
Chorus:
CAm
If you know it in one glimpse, itʼs legendary
G
You and I Go from one kiss to getting married
CAm
Still a life, killing time at the cemetery
G
Never quite buried
FAm
In your suit and tie, in the nick of time
GC
You lowdown boy, you stand up guy
F
You holy ghost
AmC
You told me Iʼm the love of your life
GCAm
Said Iʼm the love of your life
GF
About a million times
Verse:
CAmG
Who was gonna tell me the truth when you blew in with the winds of fate
G
And told me I reformed you?
CAmG
When your impressionist paintings of heaven turned out to be fakes
G
Well, you took me to hell too
FAm
And all at once, the ink bleeds
CG
A conman sells a fool a get love quick scheme
FAmGC
But I felt a hole like this, never before, and ever since
Chorus:
CAm
If you know it in one glimpse, itʼs legendary
G
What we thought was for all time was momentary
CAm
Still a life, killing time at the cemetery
G
Never quite buried
FAm
You cinephile in black and white
CG
All those plot twists and dynamite
FAm
Mr. Steal Your Girl then make her cry
GC
Said Iʼm the love of your life
Bridge:
DmC
You shit talked me under the table
F
Talking rings and talking cradles
G
I wish I could unrecall
Dm
How we almost had it all
C
Dancing phantoms on the terrace
F
Are they secondhand embarrassed
G
That I canʼt get out of bed
C
ʼCause something counterfeitʼs dead?
Outro:
AmF
It was legendary
GC
It was momentary
Am
It was unnecessary
F
Shouldʼve let it stay buried
GF
Oh, what a valiant roar
Am
What a bland goodbye
GC
The coward claimed he was a lion
FAm
Iʼm combing through the braids of lies
GC
Iʼll never leave, never mind
FAm
Our field of dreams engulfed in fire
GG
Your arsonʼs match, your somber eyes
FAm
And Iʼll still see it until I die
GC
Youʼre the loss of my life
