Hostages chords by The Howl And The Hum

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G


Verse:
G           C
I don’t wanna say goodbye like this
G                 C
I’m watching as your face begins to fade
Em                   C
The last six months are waiting with its engine on
G           C
Our ugly rebounds waiting in their caves

Chorus:
         G
So meet me on the bridge
   D      C
We’ll hand over our hostages
       G
A fake silver ring
   D        C
Your books in foreign languages
         Em
You can keep the coat
  D        C
It looks better on you
      Am
Anyway, I’m fine
      C         G
I guess the cold’s a state of mind


Post-Chorus:
Dm C    G
Two lovers met
Dm C     G
Two strangers left


Bridge?:
      Em       C
You say I’m dead on the inside
      G        D
Babe, I’ve known that for a while
    Em        C
And It wasn’t like you liked me
    G       D
For my sunny views on life
    Em       C
Oh, I’m dead on the inside
      G        D
Babe, I’ve known that all along
  Em       C
Any time I tried to love you
     G
I got it wrong


Chorus:
         G
So meet me on the bridge
   D      C
We’ll hand over our hostages
         G
Your dad’s broken watch
 D       C
A letter to your old address
         Em
You just stay so cool
  D        C
It looks better on you
      Am
Anyway, I’m fine
    C         G
I guess alone’s a state of mind


Post-Chorus:
Dm C    G
And two lovers met
Dm C     G
Two strangers left


Bridge?:
      Em       C
You say I’m dead on the inside

Babe, I’ve known that for a while
    Em        C
And It wasn’t like you liked me
    G       D
For my sunny views on life

Oh, I’m dead on the inside

Any time I tried to love you

I got it wrong


Chorus:
         G
So meet me on the bridge
   D      C
We’ll hand over our hostages
        G
We’ll shed our skin
  D      C
And fade into acquaintances
        Em
This is how we die
 D         C
Become just you and I
          Am
You turn round and smile
     C    Am
One final time
     C        G
You were just a state of mind

Post-Chorus:
Dm C    G
And two lovers met
Dm C     G
Two strangers left
