Verse 1:
[C] Who's gonna stop us from [Am]waltzing back into rekindled [G]flames
If we [G]know the steps anyway?

Stitching "[G]"we were just kids, babe"

Chorus:
[C] If you know it in[Am]in one glimpse, it's legendary
[G] You and I go from one kiss to getting married
[C] Still a life, killing time at[Am]at the cemetery
[G] Never quite buried
In your suit and [F]tie, in the nick of [Am]time
You lowdown [G]boy, you stand up [C]guy
You holy [F]ghost

Bridge:
[Dm] You xxxx talked me under the [C]table
Talking rings and talking [F]cradles
I wish I could unre[G]unrecall
How we almost had it [Dm]all
Dancing phantoms on the [C]terrace
Are they secondhand em[F]embarrassed
That I can't get out of [G]bed
'Cause something counterfeit'[C]counterfeit's dead?
Outro:
[Am] It was legendary [F]
[G] It was momentary [C]
[Am] It was unnecessary
[F] Should've let it stay buried
[G] Oh, what a valiant [F]roar
What a bland good[Am]goodbye
The coward [G]claimed he was a [C]lion
I'm combing [F]through the braids of [Am]lies
I'll never [G]leave, never [C]mind
Our field of [F]dreams engulfed in [Am]fire
Your arson's [G]match, your somber [G]eyes
And I'll still [F]see it until I [Am]die
You're the loss of m[G]my life [C]
