Intro:
Life is just going so quickly, I can't catch it
I don't think anyone can
Verse 1:
A augmentedA
I met the devil in the hills last night
E MajorE
I was driving by myself, alone
F# minorF#m
He said, "Boy, what you running from "
D MajorD
I said, "I don't know"
A augmentedA
I don't know if it was a better time
E MajorE
But girl, we were giants then
F# minorF#m
Endless nights, we were infinite (So, terrified, I guess)
D MajorD
Summer's end would mean the death of us
Chorus:
B minorBm
But summer past, and we grew up
D MajorD
And all of our paths, they split up
E* C# minorC#m
And I haven't seen your face or heard your voice in so long
D MajorD
So, so long
E* A augmentedA
We had a good run, it's over now
(No, I'm not sad about it, but, I'm just, it's weird)
Verse 2:
A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m
Yeah, lying on the grass, talk is so old
E MajorE
Living under Orion, we grew so bold
A augmentedA D MajorD
Lying on our days, we were outlaws
E*
Our loss, but
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
Catch me if you can, never wiped out
B minorBm A augmentedA
Tryin' to catch a wave, tryin' to break out
E MajorE
I guess I didn't know
A augmentedA B minorBm
And now I'm gone
F# minorF#m
But it don't hurt me anymore
E MajorE
That's just the way it goes
A augmentedA D MajorD
Yeah, I should've known
E* B minorBm F#m*
But, I heard you talking through the walls late last night
B minorBm A augmentedA
"There are no ends, just grays and half-lives"
E MajorE
Half-time (And I heard it), it's alright
Chorus:
B minorBm
That summer past, and we grew up
D MajorD
And all of our plans, they split us up
E* C# minorC#m
And I haven't seen your face or heard your voice in so long
D MajorD
So, so long
E* A augmentedA
We had a good run, it's over now
Interlude:
N.C.
So, please, don't fade me out
So, please, don't fade me out
So, please, don't lose me now
B minorBm
I heard the words that you never said
C# minorC#m
Smokescreen from a cigarette
D MajorD
Exhale, we can never be what's in our heads
E MajorE
Elevation doesn't matter now, it's straight ahead
F# minorF#m
Sending shivers down my spine, life pirouettes
E MajorE
It's cool, we're used to losing real friends
D MajorD
Only ever feeling it in retrospect
D MajorD
And we were really breathing, not silhouettes
D MajorD
Maybe in another dream this would never end
Outro:
A augmentedA
'Cause everything is not alright
C# minorC#m
And we are falling
D MajorD
But that's just life
DmDm
Without some lows, there is no highs
A augmentedA
And everything will be okay
C# minorC#m
Though we are all hurting
D MajorD
'Cause time flies fast
DmDm
And you know, no pain is forever
A augmentedA C# minorC#m D MajorD DmDm
Ever, forever
