Verse 

Eb             Ab 
She paints in grey 
Bb 
She closes her eyes 
Ab                                    Eb 
'Till fireworks and palm trees almost look alike 
Ab 
She looks up to me and whispers 
Bb                    Cm      Gm 
"I won't be here in a year" 
               Ab       Bb 
So I take the long road to think and wonder why 
Ab                          Eb 
I can't sleep with all this sunlight 
Ab                           Bb 
If there's still evidence of us 
Cm                    Eb 
Why can't that be enough? 
              Cm 
Don't mean to drag you down 
    Eb                  Ab 
You taste just like you always do 


         Bb             Fm 
Isabelle hides so I can find my way 
Eb       Ab    G  Eb               Fm           
I'd give anything just to surround your dreams 


Cm Eb Bb 

Bridge 

    Ab 
The envy of the dead 
Bb           Eb 
The sound of scissors and sleep 
Ab 
I can't believe you dreamed 
    Eb                 Gm 
And pulled all of your clothes off 
Ab 
You're not supposed to drink 
     Eb                 Bb 
With what's inside your purse 
        F 
And not expect me to not to call you out 

Verse 

Ab          Cm   Bb         Cm 
I'm guiding your chin to my lips 
      Gm      Eb     Gm 
Using only my fingertips 
                                 Bb         Eb 
All we have are parking lots and nowhere to go 
       F 
If you love me, then show me more 


Ab       Bb              Fm 
Isabelle watches me from far away 
Eb       Ab    Gm Eb               Fm 
I'd give anything just to surround your dreams 
Eb         Fm   Cm                   Dm    Eb       Ab 
I know you like when the temperature rises to a boiling heat 
             Gm  Fm 
The chlorine and wine found 

He sees through her nightgown 
Ab 
And everything fades away 


Cm    Fm    Cm    Fm (x2) 


Bridge 

          Cm 
The stars awake 

But we can't see them out 
F      Fm 
So why pretend? 
           Cm                                  Fm 
Is there a train that travels back to yours at 5 AM? 

Or are we walking? 
Cm 
Car alarms and leaves that blow 
Gm              Fm 
They're calling out our names 
C 
But it's gone too far 
                       Fm 
Your butane mouth will spit me into flames 

Cm    Ab    G    Cm 

Db Fm Eb Dm G 

Cm 
Sorry 'bout it, I can't help it 
    Fm    Ab     Eb  G 
I'm an anarchist in love 
                Eb 
And I forgot to call you 
        Cm        Eb 
I can't break you down while 
Bb     Ab              G 
I think about honey and the sweet New York sounds 

Cm Ab 


Ab       Bb         F          Fm       Cm 
Isabelle hides so I can't find my way 
    Ab          G Gm       Cm                             Ab 
I'd give anything to carry on and on and on the same way 
                Bb            Fm 
The temperature rises to this boiling heat 
Eb                    Ab 
The chlorine and wine found 
                            Eb 
He sees through her nightgown 
            F 
As Saturday burns away 


Ab    Bb  Gm    Fm (x2)

Eb          Ab               Bb 
Back in the days, when I was young 
                 Gm 
I’m not a kid anymore 
Ab                                       F 
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again 
Ab          Eb        
Back in the days when I was young 
Bb            Gm 
I'm not a kid anymore 
                Ab                       Eb 
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again...
