Verse 1
G
It's like we
both have just arrived here
Like we've just stepped off
C
a plane in a new town
Am
and the sun was out.
C
G
I was talking,
you would point your ear at me
C
like I was making some sweet sound
you said, "make it loud"
Verse 2
Am
But we can never come back here again
C
we can only hope...
to forget.
G
Verse 3
Walked through a cemetery archway
C
into a wood that hung so happily alone
but the words were all wrong.
G
You traded all my ill affections
C
for directions to a party across town.
You bring the house down.
Verse 4
Am
But we can never go back there again
C
we can only hope.

So...
G
Burned is the house.
C
Gone is the street.

Here is the same disappointing retreat.

G
C
And I need it like hell if I'd lie to myself
Em
G
C
to think I could live that life over again.
G
Where the cuts were like guilt
C
and the taste for your eyes
Em
I say, "we're up when I
D
couldn't just say goodnight"
Em
G
C
If you cry me a river you can baptize me in
Em
G
I say, "I guess that's it,
C
D
now I've fucking seen everything"
G
Woah's

You were the first real choice I would make,

Verse 7
G
Jumped overboard because
the water's always greener
C
when the sun shines on the sea
Am
Would you drown for me?
G
It's just as deep as you can make it
you tread water when you could
C
stand on your knees
Am
but don't pray to me.
C
Am
Cause when the lamp ray's taken all it can
C
it will keep you dead.
