Verse:
Em
We lended our heavy hearts,
Em
motors with broken parts,
Em
we had a deck of cards it was a start.
Em
We'd sit out in the sun,
Em
and wait for our skin to turn,
C*
you would ask for truth,
Em
and I would look for something to burn.
Chorus:
Em
Oh we walked in a hallowed place back then
F
the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June.
Em
Oh to live in a paper house again,
Em
where we grew by the light of the moon.
Em
Em
Often we took the train,
Em
the sky pacing white to grey,
C*
when you or I would leave
C**
and the others would stay.
Em
We were all that we had
Em
and breathed in each others word,
C*
I would ask for truth
Em
and you'd look for something to burn.
Chorus
Em
Em
You were much younger then,
Em
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
Em
Em
Oh you know what you are to me
F
and you know you will always be.
C**
