Intro Am - F - C/G - G x2

Am              F
Am I a terrible lie, just a southern mess?
C/G                       G
Am I the signature you'll forge on the birthday cards
     Am
that I'll forget to send
       F
can we please just not pretend
     C/G
that all my thoughtlessness had purpose
       G                                 F - C/G - Am
do you think that it was worth it?

                       F      -    C/G   -     G
I'm not they same as I was when we were younger

C/G
We swam out past the shallow breakers
F
I never thought that the tide would take us
Am                       G
we live just to love and learn to give it up
C/G            G
(we are in the arms of lovers)
C/G
we are hopeless we're all comets
F
with love for someone carried on us
Am                        G
we live just to learn but hope never gives us up
C/G            G
(we are in the arms of lovers)

Am            F  -  C/G           Am        F   -  C/G
Soldiers with heavy hearts just reach out into the dark

Am                               F
You found me walking through our town in the dead of night
C/G                 G
I was looking for you
                             Am
I always thought that if you loved me in the end
        F                             C/G                        G                             F - C/G - Am
I could fall but I would mend but I'm tired of this secret cos I know that I can't keep it
