Verse 1
C 
You were a promise, child,
I was a bleacher kid
G 
Far too shy for a love like this
Am 
I cover up my face to
hide my feelings
F 
Drown it out till nothing's real
C 
When the bar's gone dry,
the night's gone cold
G 
When it hurts to smile, you feel alone
Am 
I wanna light the fires and
chase the storms
F 
Ride top down to the end of the road
It's your birthday
G 
Am 
Look at the candles,
F 
all of the windows, baby
G 
The night burns,
C 
F 
the first night of our lives
Am 
G 
I wanna get out of the city, babe
C 
F 
I wanna take you with me, alright
Am 
G 
The snow will reflect in the city
C 
F 
When it cuts out all the pretty two nights
G 
Am 
And we go down fast,
C 
F 
we crash and burn a mile
G 
And I'm a bit unpathetic
Am 
C 
F 
but I wanna be your lover for life
Am 
Wanna be your lover for life
C 
In a Wendy's booth in a wavy dress
G 
I'm trying to keep my cool
but I'm such a mess
Am 
Ghosts from the past
F 
come back to haunt me
C 
There's a midnight train calling
G 
Oh baby let me know if you're all in
Am 
I wanna  be the one you see
F 
when you close your eyes
G 
Now it's your wedding,
Am 
what such a blessing
F 
Smell for the camera,
something depressing
G 
And now you're hogging,
Am 
F 
burning like a funeral pyre
Am 
G 
I wanna get out of the city, babe,
C 
F 
I wanna take you with me, alright
Am 
G 
And honey, just like a machete,
C 
F 
gonna cut it on you, honey, tonight
G 
Am 
And we go down fast,
C 
F 
we crash and burn alive
G 
And I wanna show you pretty,
but
Am 
C 
F 
I wanna be your lover for life
G 
I wanna be your lover for a  long,
Am 
long time
F 
I wanna be your lover,
G 
Am 
I got to be your lover for life
F 
I wanna be your lover,
I got to be your lover for life
