Verse 1:
Em                Am7
Hope is very hard when
Em                Am7
Hope is very hard when we
G                    Fmaj7
put ourselves out to sea

Em
We've taken all the right steps
Am
taken all the right steps but
G                        Fmaj7
which doors open with our keys

G
All the neon fires fired in our brains
F
We were thinking that our world was in
Am
danger
            Am
But then we entered the fray


Verse 2:
G
All the rest they could
C
not compare, your
F
smile said that you cared
Fmaj7
And It felt so wonderful

Fmaj7
Now all these memories I can't
G
wash them away, they are
Em
destined to stay
Am
And they feel like a heaven
N.C.
those


Chorus:
F
pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-
G       Em
graphic memories
G           Em          G
and they'll die on with me


Verse 3:
G
All your faults I did
Cmaj7
cherish them all, I
F
helped you up when you'd fall
G
You did the same for me too
C
Into my life, you ah
Am
rived right on time, you
Fmaj7
must have been a sign
F
and now I’m left with all these


Chorus:
G                     Fmaj7
pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-
        Em   Am
graphic memories
Cmaj7
and they'll die on with me


Bridge:
G
Your eyes
F
burn two giant holes
C
straight in my heart
F
my love spills out
Em
conquers you whole
C
Now we're swimming
G
around in the love
F
and it soaks into our skin
G
though mine is metal
Cmaj7
and yours is flesh.
F                             Am7
our differences make this the best

C
Love in town and we skip to every
G
destination
F                     C
we're putting on show everywhere we go
Cmaj7
sparks fly from my lips
Em
its an electric kiss
Fmaj7            G
Static’s abound, frequency sounds
F               C
hand in hand we dance around
G                               Fmaj7
I'm generating lots of love holding your hand
G                                Em         F
They can hear our motors turning across the land


Verse 4:
G
All our love well it
F
put us at ease and it
Em                Am
Somehow made time freeze
G                       Fmaj7
And it seemed like it’d never end

G
Both of our hearts seemed to
F
Intertwine, when
C
We met for the first time
Am
And now I can’t stop thinking about those


Chorus:
G
pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-
Fmaj7   Em    Am
graphic memories
G                       C
and they'll die on with me


Verse 5:
Em                Am
Hope is very hard when
Em                    Am
Hope is very hard when you've
Fmaj7                  Cmaj7
lost the thing you had before

Em                   Am
I took all the right steps
Em                   C
I took all the right steps and I
Cmaj7              G
unlocked the right doors

G
All the neon fires died out in my brain
Am
And I grew numb to that feeling of
Em
pain
Fmaj7               F
why did you have to go


(EITHER USE INTRO TAB HERE OR CHORDS)

Verse 6:
C
All the rest they could
E
never compare, your
Am                       C
smile showed me that you cared
G              Fmaj7
And it felt so wonderful

Am                  Em
All those memories I can't
C
wash them away, they are
Fmaj7
embedded in my brain
             Em
And I am all alone now with

these


Chorus:
Em                    Am
pho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-tah-
G       Fmaj7
graphic memories
Cmaj7                   F
and they'll die on with me...
