[C] [G] [Em] [D]
[C] [G] [Em] [D]
[C]You were in [G]college working [Em]part time [D]waiting tables [C]
Left a [G]small town, [Em]never looked [D]back.
[C]I was a [G]flight risk [Em]with the [D]fear of fallin
[C]Wonderin why we [G]bother with [Em]love if it never lasts
[C] [G] [Em] [D]
I say Can you believe it?
[Em]As [D]were lying on a couch [C] [G]
[Em]The moment I can [D]see it
[C]Yes [G]yes [Em]I can see it now
[C]Do you [G]remember we were [Em]sitting there [D]by the water
[C]You put your [G]arm around [Em]me for the [D]first time
[C]You made a [G]rebel of a [Em]careless mans [D]careful daughter
[C]You are the [G]best thing [Em]thats ever [D]been mine
on my upper [D]thigh only in my mi[Em]nd?
I'm slippin', fallin' ba[G]ck into the hedge ma[D]ze
Oh, what a way to d[Em]ie
I keep recalling thi[C]ngs we never d[D]id
Messy top lip ki[G]ss, how I long for our tri[Em]ps
Without ever touc[C]hin' his skin
How can [D]I be guilty as sin? [G]
I keep these longings [C]locked
In lowеrcase inside a [G]vault
Someonе told me, "There's no such thing as bad tho[C]ughts
Only your actions ta[G]lk"
These fatal fant[G]asies
Giving way to labored bre[C]ath takin' all of me
We've already done it in my he[G]ad, if it's make-believe
Why does it feel like a vo[C]w we'll both uphold some[D]how? [D]
What if he's [G]written "Mine" on
my upper [D]thigh only in my mi[Em]nd?
I'm slippin', fallin' ba[G]ck into the hedge ma[D]ze
Oh, what a way to d[Em]ie
I keep recalling thi[C]ngs we never d[D]id
Messy top lip ki[G]ss, how I long for our tri[Em]ps
Without ever touc[C]hin' his skin
How can [D]I be guilty as sin? [G]
[C] [G] [Em] [D]
[Em]And I remember that fight [C]2:30am
Cause [G]everything was slipping right [D]out of our hands
[Em]And I ran out crying and [C]you followed me out into the [G]street [D]
What if I [D]roll the stone away? [C]
They're gonna crucify me anyway [G]
What if the way you [D]hold me is actually what's [C]holy?
If long-suffering propr[C]iety is what they wa[D]nt from me
They don't kn[G]ow how you've haunted me so stu[Em]nningly
I choose y[C]ou and me religio[D]usly
[Em]Braced myself for the goodbye
[C]Cause thats [G]all Ive ever [D]known [Em] [C]
[G]And you took me [D]by surprise [Em]
[C]You said [G]Ill never [D]leave you [C]alone
You sai[C]d I re[G]member how it f[Em]elt sitting b[D]y the water
[C]And every [G]time I look at [Em]you its like the [D]first time
[C]I fell in [G]love with [Em]careless mans [D]careful daughter
[C]She is the [G]best thing [Em]thats ever [D]been mine
on my upper [D]thigh only in my mi[C]nd?
I'm slippin', fallin' ba[G]ck into the hedge ma[D]ze
Oh, what a way to d[Em]ie
I keep recalling thi[C]ngs we never d[D]id
Messy top lip ki[G]ss, how I long for our tri[Em]ps
Without ever touc[C]hin' his skin
How can [D]I be guilty as sin? [G]
[C] [G] [Em] [D]
[C]You made a [G]rebel of a [Em]careless mans [D]careful daughter
[C]You are the [G]best thing [Em]thats ever [D]been mine
on my upper [D]thigh
only in my mi[C]nd?
[D] He sent me "Downtown Lig[Em]hts" [G] [D]
I hadn't heard it in a whi[Em]le
Am I allowed to cry?
