Verse 1:
BB F#F#
One hand in a pocket the other on him
E MajorE F#F#
No time like the present for rebellion
G# minorG#m BB
two sides of a whole only minutes apart
F#F# BB F#F#
How can one keep on living with half of a heart
BB F#F#
now there’s nothing but silence to finish his sentences
E MajorE F#F#
And he can’t try to hide it cuz his pain can’t be fixed
G# minorG#m BB
though his tears never dry and his cheeks are stained red
F#F# BB F#F#
he knows one day they’ll hold each other again
Chorus:
G# minorG#m F#F# BB
when the fireworks blare over his crimson hair
G#G# F#F# BB
He’ll think back on the memories that they got to share

And he knows that forever they’ll solemnly swear

they’ll be up to no good even though one is no longer there

they’ll notice the stars have never been this bright
