Intro:

E A E A

Verse 1:

        E                       C#m
For the wolves we fought when a child was brave
A         E
Days on a Southern strand
                            C#m
Where we’d all pretend to be touring
    E                          C#m
And I’d wait all night for the smile you’d saved
           A
Or how the wind would howl
     E
Better head back now
       A        E  A
It’s a warning

Chorus:

C#m                         E         A
We were swimming out so far this time
C#m             E                       A
The sun and your eyes were the only fire
C#m                        E    A
Pretty intimate so far so I
               C#m
Lit a holy fire

E C#m  E A
C#m

Verse 2:

  E                                    C#m
So we all gather our ghosts around the island flames
          E
Oh and the song she throws is not one I know
       C#m     B
But it knew me
    E                   C#m
For an age long lost in time, erased
               E
Days when they called our names
                            C#m        E    A
Stories tucked away, you tell it to me

Chorus:

C#m                     B            E A
We were swimming out so far this time
C#m                                B    C# A
The sun and your eyes were the only fire
C#m                    B   E A
Pretty intimate so far so I
               C#m
Lit a holy fire

B E  A C#m  G# A
C#m

Verse 3:

G#m                         A         C#m
Take me back to places I feel loved in
              A                      C#m
Maybe failing that, take me to Boston
G#m                  A                  C#m
Strange that I’m not seeing you as often
G#m                            A         C#m
Wandering 'round in cities I feel lost in
G#m
   What if all the costs are even?

Outro:

F#m                  F#               C#m        A
We were swimming out so far this time (take me to Boston, Boston)
F#m                                    C#m                            A
The sun and your eyes were the only fire (take me back to places I feel loved in, loved in)
F#m                        G#                    A
Pretty intimate so far so I (wandering 'round in cities I feel lost in, lost in)
F#m
    Eyes of-e-e-o-of holy fire
