Tone: [Dm]
Verse 1:
[Dm]Not whole, [F]not wholly [Bb]separate, but syncopated
[C]Single in our nature, and [Dm]because of the times
Not a [F]word was said when the lights came on
Or a g[Bb]glance given pause at the c[C]cost of our desired wrongs
It's [Dm]second nature to love you, it's [F]first to die
And we were [Bb]killed upon waking, ki[C]killed upon waking to the l[Dm]life
We weren't prepared to live but [F]rebelled to realize
We were k[Bb]killed upon the pavement, B[C]Bonnie we're immortalized in
Chorus:
[Dm]Blood, cold, cold love, [F]we were still young
When the [Bb]radio lights came o[C]on
Elton's on the a[Dm]air, no fair dear that [F]we were still here
In the [Bb]absence of everything, ab[C]abstain from fear
And if I [Dm]cry in your arms
[F]Just some other xxxx, just some [Bb]other xxxx
Just some other [C]things that I've been dealing with
I'd [Dm]die in your arms, [F]bury me while playing this
[Bb]Bury me saying "You were a[C]all I ever needed"
And [Dm]hold me like we're dying from the [F]liquor that we drank
Down in [Bb]hotel rooms, to f[C]feel warm in cold love
Verse 2:
[Dm]What's harder, [F]harder to say?
That you [Bb]want me to stay
That you [C]want me to stay [Dm]unchanged for you?
[F]Chained to a lie, we're the s[Bb]same, you and I, we're the s[C]same
Not the s[Dm]same, we hurt differently,[F]differently, but consistent in our [Bb]pain
Equal and [C]equidistant in the way we [Dm]laugh
To lay bare the [F]weight of our cold love affair
[Bb]Recalling the days where we w[C]were, we weren't, we were
[Dm]Wrong for the papers, [F]wrong for the dinner tables
[Bb]Of the inner rings of the r[C]rich and famous anythings
It's [Dm]gone, not bad, just [F]gone, my bad, just [Bb]wrong, we had
And we [C]had, and we were then in
Chorus:
[Dm]Blood, cold, cold love, [F]we were still young
When the [Bb]radio lights came o[C]on
Elton's on the a[Dm]air, no fair dear that [F]we were still here
In the [Bb]absence of everything, ab[C]abstain from fear
And if I [Dm]cry in your arms
[F]Just some other xxxx, just some [Bb]other xxxx
Just some other [C]things that I've been dealing with
I'd [Dm]die in your arms, [F]bury me while playing this
[Bb]Bury me saying "You were a[C]all I ever needed"
And [Dm]hold me like we're dying from the l[F]liquor that we drank
Cown in [Bb]hotel rooms, to f[C]feel warm in cold love
Outro:
[Dm]What's harder, [F]harder to say?
That you [Bb]want me to stay
That you [C]want me to stay [Dm]unchanged for you?
[F]Chained to a lie, we're the s[Bb]same, you and I, we're the s[C]same
[Dm]What's harder, [F]harder to fake?
That you [Bb]want me to stay
That you [C]want me to stay the [Dm]same for you?
[F]Chained to a lie, who's to b[Bb]blame? Let it die, we're the s[C]same
[Dm]In blood, cold, cold love, [F]we were still young
When the [Bb]radio lights came o[C]on
Elton's on the a[Dm]air [Bb] [F]
