Verse:
   Chord diagramE minorEm
We lended our heavy hearts,
   Chord diagramE minorEm
motors with broken parts,
   Chord diagramE minorEm
we had a deck of cards it was a start.
   Chord diagramE minorEm
We'd sit out in the sun,
  Chord diagramE minorEm
and wait for our skin to turn,
  C*
you would ask for truth,
  Chord diagramE minorEm
and I would look for something to burn.
Chorus:
Chord diagramE minorEm
Oh we walked in a hallowed place back then
                    Chord diagramFF
the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June.
                Chord diagramE minorEm
Oh to live in a paper house again,
Chord diagramE minorEm
where we grew by the light of the moon.

Chord diagramE minorEm

  Chord diagramE minorEm
Often we took the train,
  Chord diagramE minorEm
the sky pacing white to grey,
  C*
when you or I would leave
        C**
and the others would stay.
  Chord diagramE minorEm
We were all that we had
    Chord diagramE minorEm
and breathed in each others word,
  C*
I would ask for truth
    Chord diagramE minorEm
and you'd look for something to burn.

Chorus

Chord diagramE minorEm

  Chord diagramE minorEm
You were much younger then,
  Chord diagramE minorEm
younger than I am now,
  C**
I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow,
  C**
I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow.

Chorus

Chord diagramE minorEm

Chord diagramE minorEm
Oh you know what you are to me
                      Chord diagramFF
and you know you will always be.
    C**

Unfortunately I wasn't sure about how the diffrent C-chords are called.
