[A]
[E] [B]
[A] Oh lover don't turn away
[C#m] The [A] future's banging [E] on your door
[B] Won't you just let [A] it in
Teeth sinking in
Begging you to [E] sin
[C#m] Sirens sing, so [A] say it now
Before [F#m] the [E]
candle's out
[B] Before [A] the clocks tick [E] off their arms
[B] And our memories [A] are sold
When hope was still [C#m] afloat
[A] Now we make love [C#m] by
[B] Rome
[A] And [F#m] we [E] can make it right
And save our [Bm] souls tonight
And [A] with a word take back all the shit [E] I've done
[F#m] Oh
And if you think [E] it's fine
Will you [Bm] lay your head next to mine
And [D] breathe out the sickness trapped inside your [A] lungs
Your lungs Your [B] [G#m] lungs
[B] [A]
[E] [B]
Oh lover with [E] world aflame
This [A] winter's freezing up your [E] charms
[B] And cold I have not [C#m] known
It drags us into snow
[A] This heavy load [E] we're told
Stripping [B] tongues take time [A] to mold
The spells we [E]
used to [A] speak
The push and pull and do [E] it now
[B] Of boiling summer [A] days
Why do you look that way
Your eyes never were [C#m] so Gray
[B]
[A] And [F#m] we can [E] make it right
And save our [Bm] souls tonight
And with [A] a word take back all the shit [E] I've done
[F#m] And if you think it's [E] fine
Will you lay [Bm] your head next to mine
And [D] breathe out the sickness trapped inside [F#m] your lungs
And we can [E] make it right
And save our [B] souls tonight
And with a [A] word take back all the shit I've [F#m] done
And if you think [E] it's fine
[G] Will you lay your head [B] next to mine
[F#m] And breathe [A] in the goodness that's inside my soul My soul
