Eb MajorEb AbmAbm E7E7
We go to bed and you fall asleep, fall asleep, not me,
DmDm BbmBbm
we go to bed and I lie awake, lie awake and
Eb MajorEb AbmAbm E7E7
float out the window and down the street, over the bridge and
DmDm BbmBbm
into the village for a little break from me, meaning us.
Eb MajorEb AbmAbm E7E7 DmDm BbmBbm
Eb MajorEb AbmAbm E7E7
I float away and you disappear, disappear,
DmDm BbmBbm
some pretty young villager takes my hand and leads me to more
Eb MajorEb AbmAbm E7E7
pretty young villagers forming a ring, forming a ring around
DmDm BbmBbm Eb MajorEb
a bonfire built on a line in the sand between me an us.
Eb MajorEb G minorGm C minorCm G minorGm FF E minorEm A minorAm
Am I lost, have I lost, have they thrown me on the fire,
C/GC/G E minorEm EmM7 D MajorD C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
there to dance in the flames, far enough from you to wonder
BbmM7
if me still means us.
Eb MajorEb AbmAbm E7E7 DmDm BbmBbm (3x - Banjo solo)
Eb MajorEb AbmAbm E7E7
She leads me to the end of the night. A augmentedA boyfriend of hers is there.
DmDm BbmBbm
You're on his arm, but our eyes don't meet, our eyes don't meet 'cause
Eb MajorEb AbmAbm E7E7
we only have eyes for fueling the fire, being melted down and reformed
DmDm BbmBbm
in the image of wilder things, wilder things than us.
Eb MajorEb G minorGm C minorCm G minorGm FF E minorEm A minorAm
Are we lost, have we lost, have they thrown us on the fire,
C/GC/G E minorEm EmM7 D MajorD C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
there to dance in the flames, far enough from one another.
F# minorF#m BbmM7 F# minorF#m BbmM7
F# minorF#m BbmM7 F# minorF#m BbmM7
We fed them to the flames, but they're just getting colder and colder.
F# minorF#m BbmM7
The boy's at least half again as selfish, and the girl's feeling a day
F# minorF#m Bb majorBb
older per hour,
F# minorF#m BbmM7
but there's no help for them now,
F# minorF#m BbmM7
because together looks good when you're alone looks good
F# minorF#m BbmM7
when you're together,
F# minorF#m BbmM7 F# minorF#m Bb majorBb
and it takes a village older and less inclined to say which is better to say
F# minorF#m BbmM7
which would be better.
