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
           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
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


Outro:
G
