[F#m]
Jonah fell in love in [A] a foreign town [Bm] With defenses down
[A] He wanted to [C#] be [F#m] good But Jonah gets in trouble
Like [A] a bullet to a gun [Bm] She had nowhere to run
[A] So she froze where she [Bm] stood And he trembled at a touch
[F] She kissed his buried back [F#m] They both would take turns dying
For a love that couldn't last Somehow I'll get through the winter
[A] Somehow my life will decay [F#m] Somehow I'm gonna [A] make all the money back
[F#m] Somehow I'm gonna make you stay
Jonah made a pact [A] with the California sun [Bm] And the lady he'd wanted, [A] they needed to [G#m] see
[F#m] But Jonah tends to overwhelm [A] Like storms to a bird
She [Bm] had already heard So [A] she followed his [G#] lead
But [Bm] the sky would open up [G#m] Undo secrets of the past
[F#m] They both would take turns dying For a love that couldn't last
Somehow I'll get through the winter
[A] Somehow my life will decay
[F#m]
Somehow I'm gonna make [A] all the money back [F#m] Somehow I'm gonna make you stay
[Bm] Coral won't heal [A] an empty wound [C#] without a flame
[Bm] And rock won't turn [A] to diamond till [C#] it's time
[Bm] All the [Em] kisses [A] in the world [C#] will soften light
[F#m] And trees that grow [C#] outside and by the side [F#m] will intertwine
Now the ending of this tale is [A] something only Duke can send
When [B] the story travels by the [A] mouth, lines will [C#] surely bend
[F#m] Neither one was beaten [A] and neither one beat up
[Bm] But their booth now carries scars [A] from the fire [C#] that they touched
And [Bm] if they take it to the page, [G#m] they won't answer to not ask
[F#m] The name and face of all now wear a heavy, altered mask
Alleviate the dying of a love that couldn't last
Saying somehow I'll get through the winter [A] Somehow my life will decay
[F#m] Somehow I'm gonna make [A] all the money back [F#m] Somehow I'm gonna make you stay
Somehow I'll get through the winter [A] Somehow my life will decay
[F#m] Somehow I'm gonna [A] make all the money back [F#m] Somehow I'm gonna make you stay
