Intro: C Am G FVerse 1:
C Am G Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames G If we know the steps anyway? C Am G We embroidered the memories of the time I was away G Stitching: We were just kids, babe F Am I said: I don't mind, it takes time C G C I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed F Am G C I felt a glow like this, never before and never sinceC Am If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary G You and I go from one kiss to getting married C Am Still alivе, killing time at the cemеtery G Never quite buried F Am And your suit and tie, in the nick of time C G You low-down boy, you stand-up guy F Am C Holy ghost, you told me I'm the love of your life G C Am Said I'm the love of your life G F About a million timesVerse 2:
C Am Who's gonna tell me the truth when you blew in with the winds of G Fate G And told me I reformed you C Am G When your impressionist paintings of heaven turned out to be fakes? G Well, you took me to hell too F Am And all at once, the ink bleeds C G A con man sells a fool a get love quick scheme F Am G C I felt a hole like this, never before and ever sinceC Am If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary G What we thought was for all time was momentary C Am Still alivе, killing time at the cemеtery G Never quite buried F Am You cinephile in black and white C G All those plot twists and dynamite F Am Mister Steal-Your-Girl, then make her cry G C Said I'm the love of your lifeFinal: Am F It was legendary G C It was momentary Am It was unnecessary F Should've let it stay buried G F Oh, what a valiant roar Am What a bland goodbye G C The coward claimed he was a lion F Am I'm combing through the braids of lies G C I'll never leave, never mind F Am Our field of dreams engulfed in fire G C Your arson's match, your somber eyes F Am And I'll still see until I die You're the loss of my lifeBridge:
Dm C You shit-talked me under the table F Talking rings and talking cradles G Dm I wish I could unrecall how we almost had it all C Dancing phantoms on the terrace F Are they second-hand embarrassed G That I can't get out of bed? C 'Cause something counterfeit's dead
