Intro:
[C] [Am] [G] [F]
Verse 1:
[C] Who's gonna stop us from [Am]waltzing back into rekindled [G]flames
If we [G]know the steps anyway?
[C] We embroided the [Am]memories of the time I was a[G]away
Stitching "[G]"we were just kids, babe"
[F] I said "I don't mind.[Am]mind. It takes time."
[C] I thought I was [G]better safe than [C]starry-eyed
[F] I felt a glow[Am] like this,[G] never before,[C] and never since
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
You told me [Am]I'm the love of your [C]life
[G] Said I'm the love of yo[C]your life [Am]
[G] About a million [F]times
Verse 2:
[C] Who was gonna tell me the [Am]
truth when you blew in with the winds of [G]fate
And [G]told me I reformed you?
[C] When your impressionist [Am]paintings
of heaven turned out to be [G]fakes
Well, [G]you took me to hell too
[F] And all at once,[Am]once, the ink bleeds
[C] a conman sells a [G]fool a get love quick scheme
[F] But I felt a hole[Am] like this,[G] never before,[C] and ever since
Chorus:
[C] If you know it in[Am]in one glimpse, it's legendary
[G] What we thought was for all time was momentary
[C] Still a life, killing time at[Am]at the cemetery
[G] Never quite buried
You cine[F]cinephile in black and [Am]white
All those [C]plot twists and dyna[G]dynamite
Mr. Steal Your [F]Girl then make her [Am]cry
Said I'm the love of your [G]life [C]
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]
