F#5
We stared at the sun
G#5
too long
B5/F# G#5
Until the shapes before our eyes
F#5 G#5
Turned into the sun
E5
in our eyes
F#5
We lied to ourselves
G#5
for awhile
B5/F# G#5
In our usual style
F#5
I wish we could lie
G#5 E5
to ourselves again
F#5
We made up our minds
G#5
To lose
B5/F# G#5
and never once looked back
F#5 G#5
We only looked back,
E5
just once
F#5
We opened our hearts,
G#5
it's true
B5/F# G#5
But not to any of you
F#5 G#5
Sold out of the myth
E5
too son
F#5
And we
G#5
tried,
B5/F# G#5
we tried with all our might
F#5
We
G#5
tore
E5
the playhouse down
F#5
We
G#5
ran
B5/F# G#5 F#5
headlong in our way
G#5 E5
We tried so hard
F#5
We stared at the road
G#5
ahead
B5/F# G#5
Closed our eyes and then
F#5 G#5
Sped up to the turn
E5
around the bend
F#5
With nothing to lose,
G#5
we lost
B5/F# G#5
Suffered every cost
F#5 G#5
It still causes pain
E5
to recall
F#5
And we
G#5
tried,
B5/F# G#5
we tried with all our might
F#5
We
G#5
tore
E5
the playhouse down
F#5
We
G#5
ran
B5/F# G#5 F#5
headlong in our way
G#5 E5
We tried so hard
Solo:
E5
F#5 G#5 B5/F# G#5 F#5 G#5 E5 x4
F#5
And we
G#5
tried,
B5/F# G#5
we tried with all our might
F#5
We
G#5
tore
E5
the playhouse down
F#5
We
G#5
ran
B5/F# G#5 F#5
headlong in our way
G#5 E5
We tried so hard
F#5
And we
G#5
tried,
B5/F# G#5 F#5
we tried with all our might
G#5 E5
We tore the playhouse down
F#5
We
G#5
ran
B5/F# G#5 F#5
headlong in our way
G#5 E5
We tried so hard
F#5
Refused to let go
G#5
of the air
B5/F# G#5
There was something there
F#5 G#5
Sparks flown with gold
E5
A million strong
F#5
We ran four red lights
G#5
in a row
B5/F# G#5
I'm still flushed from the glow
F#5 G#5
I'm down on the road
E5
back home
F#5
We stared at the sun
G#5
too long
B5/F# G#5
Until the shapes before our eyes
F#5
Turned back into the sun,
G#5 E5
into the sun in our eyes
F#5
We lied to ourselves
G#5
for awhile
B5/F# G#5
In our usual style
F#5
Now I wish we could ride
G#5 E5
We wish we could lie to ourselves again
F#5
And we tried,
G#5
we tried,
B5/F# G#5
we tried with all our might
F#5
We
G#5
tore
E5
the playhouse down
F#5 G#5
We ran headlong,
B5/F# G#5 F#5
headlong in our way…
G#5 E5 F#5
We tried so hard…
G#5 B5/F# G#5 F#5
We tried so hard…
G#5 E5
Yeah we tried so hard…
