Intro: E A x2
E I'm walking fast through the traffic lights
Busy streets and busy lives A And all we know is touch and goE We are alone with our changing minds A We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds or fades in time
E A And I never never saw you coming E A And I'll never never be the same
E A
E You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a cannon ball A Now all we know is don't let goE We are alone just you and me
Up in your room and our slates are clean A Just twin fire signs four blue eyes
E So you were never a saint
And I love the shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mostly of broken heartsA But this love is great and wild
E A And I never never saw you coming E A And I'll never never be the same
E This is a state of grace A This is the worthwhile fight F#m Love is a ruthless game E A Unless you play it good and right E These are the hands of fate A You're my Achilles heel F#m E A This is the golden age of something good and right and real

Back when you fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme
E Took off fast through the green light go
Hey skip the conversation and you already know C#m I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made A And that was the first day
B C#m A And darling it was good B C#m A Never looking down B C#m A And right there where we stood E A Was holy ground
E Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress
We had this big wide city all to ourselves A We blocked the noise with the sound of I need you
And for the first time I had something to lose
E Well I guess we fell apart in the usual way
And the story's got dust on every page C#m Sometimes I wonder how you think about it now A And I see your face in every crowd
B C#m A And darling it was good B C#m A Never looking down B C#m A And right there where we stood E A C#m A Was holy ground

Pierce the room like a cannon ball G Now all we know is don't let goD We are alone just you and me

Mostly of broken heartsG But this love is great and wild
