C A7 Dm G7


Verse:
C            Asus2
Seven months older
              Dm                          G
Air’s getting cold, our bed’s startin’ to creak
C               Asus2
God knows where you are
Am          Dm                      G
I’m here waiting for love through a screen

C
You show me the outfit you chose
Asus2              Am
For the dinner and tonight’s show
Dm           Dm6        G
Must be nice to be your clothes

C
Second to none even at your worst
Asus2                      Am
Sometimes I wish you’d put me first
Dm       Dm6           G
Nowadays you’re such a blur


Pre-Chorus:
F       G              Am                            G
We keep dancing around the innocent truth that we’re just...


Chorus:
G7     C     A7
Out of time (ooh)
Dm                    G     C      A7
Must I die before you feel alive? (ooh)
  Dm                     G
A curse in a graceful disguise

Dm             Fmaj7           F
I love you too much to stay in love


Verse:
C           Asus2                 Dm
How are you darling? How are you, really?
        G
How was Taiwan? (you never say)
C              Asus2                         Dm
Thanks for the flowers, but you’ve been here hours
                      G
Yet your coat’s still very much on


Pre-Chorus:
F         G          Am                       G
Tiptoein’ around the bitter truth but we both know...


Chorus:
G7        C     A7
It's just time (ooh)
Dm                    G     C      A7
Must I die before you feel alive? (ooh)
  Dm                     G
A curse in a graceful disguise


Outro:
Dm            G            Am
Great was our love, it was one for the books
Dm             G            C
We gave it the best that we could
Dm          G             E7            Am            Dm  G
But I won’t recite all my lines just to watch you and I...lie

Dm             Fmaj7           F
I’m so proud I got to love you once

C A7 Dm G7
