[Bm] I've hardly [C#m] been outside my [D] room in days
[Bm] Cause I don't feel that [A] I deserve the [D] sunshine's rays
The darkness [Bm] held [C#m] until the [A] whiskey [D] wore away
And it was [Bm] then I [A] realized the conscience [D] never fades
[Bm] When you're young you [C#m] have this [A] image [D] of your life
That [Bm] you be [A] scrupulous and one day even [D] make a wife
And [Bm] you make boundaries [C#m] you'd [A] never [D] dream to cross
And [Bm] if you happen [A] to you wake [D] completely lost
Then [G] I will fight [A] for you
[Bm] Be [A] sure that [G] I will fight until [Bm] we're the special [A] two Once [G] again
[A] [Bm] And we will [A] only need each [D] other we'll bleed together
[G] Our hands will [Bm] not be tied for [A] holding others
[D] Is where the special two
[Bm] And we could [A] only see each [D] other we'll breathe together
[G] These arms will [Bm] not be tied to [A] needing others
[Gm] Is where [D] the special two
[Bm] I [A]
[D] [Gm] [D] [G] [Bm]
[D] [G] [D] [Bm] remember [C#m] someone [A] old once [D] said to me
[Bm] That lies will lock you [A] up with truth the [D] only key
But [Bm] I was comfortable [C#m] and warm [D] inside my shell
And [Bm] couldn't see this [A] place could soon [D] become my
So is [Bm] it better to tell than [C#m] hurt [A] or lie to [D] save their face
Well I [Bm] guess the answer [A] is don't do it [D] in the first place
I know [Bm] I'm not deserving [A] of your trust from [D] you right now
But [Bm] if by chance you [A] change your mind you [D] know I will not let [G] you down
Cause [Bm] we were the special [A] two and we'll [G] be again
[A] [Bm] And we will [A] only need each [D] other we'll bleed together
[G] Our hands will [Bm] not be tied for [A] holding others
[D] Is where the special two
[Bm] And we could [A] only see each other [D] we'll breathe together
[G] These arms will [Bm] not be tied to [A] needing others
[G] And where the special [A] two
I [Em] step outside my [A] mind's eyes [Bm] for a minute
And [D] [Em] I look over me like a [A] doctor looking for [Bm] disease
Or something that could ease the [D] pain
But [Em] nothing cures the [A] hurt you
[F#] You bring on [G] by yourself just remembering
[A] Just remembering [D] how we [A] were
[Bm] And we would [A] only need each [D] other we'll bleed together
[G] These hands will not [Bm] be tied for [A] holding others
[G] Beware the special [D] two
