Verse 1:
E MajorE FF
Chapped lips from keeping secrets
G+G C majorC
Black eyes from staying up all night
DmDm Bb majorBb
I go out looking for eternity
A augmentedA FF
In paperbacks and orange street lights
G+G C majorC
And what you'll say you heard the first time -
DmDm Bb majorBb
Their worn hands and young lovers' hearts
E MajorE FF
Just keeping it down, keeping it down
G+G C majorC
Forever is where I always start
DmDm
But I gave it up
Bb majorBb
I gave it up -
Verse 2:
E MajorE FF
The way they talk about their prayers
G+G C majorC
I dream of moving to the city
DmDm Bb majorBb
But is it in the universe plan?
A augmentedA FF
And does it really mean anything?
G+G C majorC
I fall in love just like everyone
DmDm Bb majorBb
Is it all we ever really want?
E MajorE FF
Just keeping it down, keeping it down
G+G C majorC
I still want to ask you to come
DmDm
But I gave it up
Bb majorBb
I gave it up
E MajorE FF G+G C majorC DmDm Bb majorBb x2
Verse 3:
E MajorE FF
Would you let me walk forever
G+G C majorC
When darkness comes to keep me company?
DmDm Bb majorBb
You know the frustrations of a foggy mind
A augmentedA FF
And I know all about humidity
G+G C majorC
Is it fear? Are you afraid?
DmDm Bb majorBb
I am afraid
(switch to fingerpicking)
E MajorE FF
Just keeping it down, keeping it down
G+G C majorC DmDm Bb majorBb
No fear in love but all the pain
