Intro (x2)
[C] [Am] [G]
Verse 1
[C]Who's gonna stop us from [Am]waltzing
Back into rekindled [G]flames?
If we know the steps anyway
[C]We embroidered the [Am]memories
Of the time I was [G]away
Stitching, "We were just kids, babe"
[F]I said, "I don't mind, [Am]it takes time"
[G]I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed
[F]I felt aglow l[Am]like this
[G]Never before and never since
Chorus
The [C]rain came [G]pouring [Am]down
When I was drownin', [F]
that's when I could finally breathe
[C] And by [G]mornin', [Am]gone was any trace of you
[F]I think I am finally clean
[C] [Am] [G]
Verse 2
[C]Who's gonna tell me the [Am]truth
When you blew in with the winds of [G]fate
And told me I reformed you
[C]When your impressionist [Am]paintings of Heaven
Turned out to be [G]fakes
Well, you took me to hell, too
[F]And all at once, [Am]the ink bleeds
[G]A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme
[F]But I felt a hole [Am]like this
[G]Never before, and ever since
Chorus
[C]If you know it in [Am]one glimpse
It's legendary
[G]What we thought was for all time
Was momentary
[C]Still alive, killing [Am]time at the cemetery
[G]Never quite buried
You cine[F]cinephile in black and [Am]white
All those [G]plot twists and dynamite
Mr. Steal Your [F]Girl, then make her [Am]cry
You said I'm the love of your [G]life
Bridge
[C]How long could we be a [G]sad song
'Til we were [Am]too far [G]gone to bring [F]back to life?
I gave you all my [C]best me's, my endless [G]empathy
And all I [Am]did was [G]bleed as I [F]
tried to be the bravest soldier
[G]Fighting in only your army
[Am]Frontlines, don't you ignore me
[F]I'm the best thing at this party
[C](You're [Em]losin' me)
[G]And I wouldn't marry me either
[Am]A pathological people pleaser
[F]Who only wanted you to see her
[C]And I'm [Em]fadin', thinkin'
[Am]"Do something, babe, [F]say something" (say something)
[G]"Lose something, babe, risk so[C]something"[Em]mething" (you're losin' me)
[Am]"Choose something, babe, I got [F]nothing (got nothing)
To [G]believe
Bridge 2
'cause... [Dm]You talked me under th[C]the table
Talking rings and talking [Am]cradles
I wish I could un-re[G]un-recall
How we almost had it [Dm]all
Dancing phantoms on the [C]terrace
Are they second-hand emb[Am]embarrassed
That I can't get out of [G]bed?
Cause something counterfeit's dead [C]
[Am]It was legendary
[G]It was momentary
[C] [Am]It was unnecessary
[G]Should've let it stay buried
Oh, what a valiant [F]roar
What a bland [Am]goodbye
The coward [G]claimed he was a lion
I'm combing [F]through the braids of [Am]lies
"I'll never [G]leave" ...
"Never mind"
Our field of [F]dreams, engulfed in [Am]fire
Your arson's [G]match your somber eyes
And I'll still [F]see it until I [Am]die
You're the loss of my [G]life
