Intro: E A x2
E
I'm walking fast through the traffic lights
Busy streets and busy lives
A
And all we know is touch and go
E
We are alone with our changing minds
A
We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds or fades in time
E A
And I never never saw you coming
E A
And I'll never never be the same
E A
E
You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a cannon ball
A
Now all we know is don't let go
E
We are alone just you and me
Up in your room and our slates are clean
A
Just twin fire signs four blue eyes
E
So you were never a saint
And I love the shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mostly of broken hearts
A
But this love is great and wild
E A
And I never never saw you coming
E A
And I'll never never be the same
E
This is a state of grace
A
This is the worthwhile fight
F#m
Love is a ruthless game
E A
Unless you play it good and right
E
These are the hands of fate
A
You're my Achilles heel
F#m E A
This is the golden age of something good and right and real
E A
And I never never saw you coming
E A
And I'll never never be the same
E A
And I never never saw you coming
E A
And I'll never never be the same
E
This is a state of grace
A
This is the worthwhile fight
F#m
Love is a ruthless game
E A E
Unless you play it good and right

And you still got it in your drawer even now

Oh your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze

Wind in my hair I was there I remember it all too well

Photo album on the counter your cheeks were turning red

You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-size bed

Your mother's telling stories about you on the tee ball team

We're dancing around the kitchen in the refrigerator light

Down the stairs I was there I remember it all to well
G D Em C D
G D
And maybe we got lost in translation maybe I asked for too much
Em C
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up
G D Em C
Running scared I was there I remember it all too well
G D
And you call me up again just to break me like a promise
Em C
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
G D
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
Em C G D Em C
Cause I remember it all all all too well
G D
Time won't fly it's like I'm paralyzed by it
Em C
I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still trying to find it
G D
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Em C
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
G D
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
Em C
Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
G D Em C
You cant get rid of it 'cause you remember it all too well yeah
G D
Cause there we are again when I loved you so
Em C
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known

It was rare I was there I remember it all too well

Intro: E
E
I was reminiscing just the other day
While having coffee all alone and Lord it took me away
A
Back to a first-glance feeling on New York time
Back when you fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme
E
Took off fast through the green light go
Hey skip the conversation and you already know
C#m
I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made
A
And that was the first day
B C#m A
And darling it was good
B C#m A
Never looking down
B C#m A
And right there where we stood
E A
Was holy ground
E
Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress
We had this big wide city all to ourselves
A
We blocked the noise with the sound of I need you
And for the first time I had something to lose
E
Well I guess we fell apart in the usual way
And the story's got dust on every page
C#m
Sometimes I wonder how you think about it now
A
And I see your face in every crowd
B C#m A
And darling it was good
B C#m A
Never looking down
B C#m A
And right there where we stood
E A C#m A
Was holy ground
E A
Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you

Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room

But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you

Busy streets and busy lives

You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a cannon ball

Now all we know is don't let go

We are alone just you and me
Up in your room and our slates are clean
G
Just twin fire signs four blue eyes

So you were never a saint
And I love the shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mostly of broken hearts
G
But this love is great and wild

And I never never saw you coming

And I'll never never be the same
