Intro:


C majorC E minorEm G+G C majorC (2x)

Verse 1:


C majorC        E minorEm
This town was a lovers stage
   G+G         C majorC
but now you can't recognise
C majorC             E minorEm       G+G
the streetlights that are daggers to your eyes
FF           A minorAm
You can't find your bearings
    FF         C majorC
you're slipping into the ground
  FF      A minorAm      E minorEm    G+G
The scene has no colour and no sound.


Verse 2:


C majorC      E minorEm
You still believe in me
 G+G           C majorC
after the things I've done
 C majorC      E minorEm       G+G
You fear for what we have become
FF        A minorAm
The ground is uneven
FF            C majorC
you stumble from day to day
FF          A minorAm
You tread where its easy
       E minorEm
although your feet are like lead
    G+G        FF
and you gotta get underway

Chorus:


FF     C majorC        E minorEm   A minorAm
Drag your heart up to the starting line
FF      C majorC          G+G
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
FF    C majorC      E minorEm   A minorAm
Its too easy to get left behind
DmDm
I know you've been kicked around
  FF                      C majorC   E minorEm  G+G  C majorC
but tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me.


Verse 3:


C majorC        E minorEm     G+G          A minorAm
Each heart is a paper kite blown around by the breeze
C majorC           E minorEm         G+G
Love wont rest till it brings you to your knees
FF      A minorAm  FF          C majorC
Some find it easy, some will never even know
FF             A minorAm
You think youve done your journey,
      E minorEm             G+G
then you stumble and find that theres such a long way to go


Chorus:


(FF)    C majorC       E minorEm    A minorAm
Drag your heart up to the starting line
FF      C majorC          G+G
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
FF    C majorC      E minorEm   A minorAm
Its too easy to get left behind
DmDm
I know you've been kicked around
FF
You wanna be lost but now your found
Bb majorBb
lets take the back way into town
FF
Drink to the bad times
          C majorC   E minorEm   G+G   C majorC
Lay them down on me

C majorC E minorEm G+G C majorC


Verse 4:

Girl, I still believe in you
     G+G        C majorC
your too good to fall so low
C majorC         E minorEm      G+G
we're gonna find a better life I know
FF       A minorAm
Things will be clearer
FF          C majorC
as soon as we make a start
FF         A minorAm
we'll be that much nearer
     E minorEm           G+G         FF
we're too old to just stand here waiting to break apart

Drag your heart up to the starting line
FF      C majorC          G+G
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
FF    C majorC      E minorEm   A minorAm
Its too easy to get left behind

I know you've been kicked around
FF                        C majorC   E minorEm   G+G   C majorC
but tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me.   On me...
