_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This town [Em] was our loveliest [G] stage But now you can't [C] _ recognize _ _
_ _ [Em] Streetlights that are daggers to [G]
your eyes _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
You can't [Am] find your bearings
[F] You're slipping into [C] the ground _ [F]
The scene [Am] has no color and [Em] no _ sound
_ [G] Do _ [C] _
you [Em] still believe in me [G] after the things I've [C] done? _ _
Do you [Em] fear for what we have [G] become?
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
The ground is [Am] uneven, _ [F] we stumble from [C] day to _ _ [F] day
But you're aware [Am] it's easy, I know [Em] you feel like lead
But you've gotta get [F] on the way
_ [C] Drag your heart up to [Em] the _ starting [Am] _ _ line
[F] _
_ Forget [C] the ghosts that make [G] you old before your _ time
[F] _
_ It's [C] too easy to [Em] get _ left [Am] behind
_ _ [Dm]
I know you've been kicked around
[F]
But tie up your thoughts and lay them [C] down on _ _ me
_ _ [G] _
Each [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] heart is a paper kite [G]
blown around by [C] the _ breeze
Love won't rest [Em] till it brings you to [G] your _ knees
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _
Some find [Am] it easy, _ [F]
some will never even [C] know
_ _ [F]
You think you've done your [Am] journey
Then you [Em]
stumble and find that there's such a long way [F] to go
_ Drag [C] your heart up to [Em] the starting _ [Am] _ line
_ [F] _
Forget [C] the ghosts that make [G] you old before your _ _ time
[F] _
_ It's [C] too easy to [Em] get left [Am] _ behind
_ _ [Dm]
I know you've been kicked around
[F] You wanna be lost and not be found
[Bb] But let's take the back way into town
[F] And drink to the bad times, lay them down [C]
on me
_ [Em] _ _ _ Girl, _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
I [Em] still believe in you
[G] You're too good to [C] fall so _ low
We're gonna find [Em] a better life, [G] I know
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
Things will be [Am] clearer, _ [F] and soon as we make [C] a start
_ [F] _
We'll be that [Am] much nearer
We're [Em] too old to just stand [G] here waiting to break [F] apart
Drag [C] your heart up to [Em] the _ starting [Am] line _ _
[F] _ Forget [C] the ghosts that make [G] you old before your _ _ [F] time
_ It's [C] too easy to [Em] get left _ [Am] behind _ _
[Dm] I know you've been kicked [F] around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them [C] down on me
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [G] On me
[C] _ _ _ _ On _ me
[Em] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
