Verse 1:
Fsus2
If the world was ending
Gsus4
I'd bike over to your house
Am7
Steal the bottle Dad's been saving
Am7 Gsus4
And kiss you on the mouth
Fsus2
And touch you and get drunk
Gsus4
And watch it all burn down
Am7
And stop pretending
Am7 Gsus4
That we might make it out
Fsus2
We were two islands
Gsus4
When the waters Versed
Am7
And this is a song to tell you to break through
Am7 Gsus4
And finish what you started
Fsus2
Into the muse
Em7
Oh how you want her
Dm7 Bb6
Into the waiting arms at the edge of the water
Fsus2 Gsus4
Now 7th Avenue
Am7
It wouldn't be so kind to you
Am7
But in the age of the poets
Gsus4 Fsus2
Weren't we the Kings?
Gsus4
Your ghost in my room
Am7
Forever in bloom
Am7
I still drink Four Roses
Gsus4 Fsus2 Gsus4
But the village is a dream___m
Am7 Am7 Gsus4
Floating out to sea__a
Verse 2:
Fsus2 Gsus4
You went to school and got a serious degree
Am7
And settled in your hometown
Am7 Gsus4
To start your family
Fsus2
And I missed you
When we'd get drunk
Gsus4
And paint everything black
Am7
Should we stop pretending
Am7 Gsus4
That we might make it back?
Fsus2
We were two islands
Gsus4
When the waters Versed
Am7
And this is a song to tell you to break through
Am7 Gsus4
And finish what you started
Fsus2
Into the muse

Oh how you want her

With a fading memory
Am7
Of who we used to be
