INTRO: [D] [Gsus2] //
[D] [Gsus2]
VERSE 1:
The
[D] strands in your eyes, that
[Gsus2] color them wonderful
[D] Stop me and steal my
[A/C#] breath
[G/B]
And
[D] emeralds from mountains, that
[Gsus2] thrust towards the sky
[D] Never revealing their
[A/C#] depth
[G/B]
PRE-CHORUS:
And
[D] tell
[A/C#] me that
[G/B] we belong to
[A/C#] gether
[D] Dress it
[A/C#] up, with the
[G/B] trappings of
[A/C#] love
I'll
[D] be capti-
[A/C#]-vated, I'll
[G/B] hang from your
[A/C#] lips
In-
[D]-stead of the
[D] gallows, of
[A/C#] heartache that
[A/C#] hang from a-
[G/B]-bove
[G/B] [A/C#] [A/C#]
CHORUS:
[D] I'll be
[Gsus2] your cryin' shoulder
[D] I'll be love's
[A/C#] suicide
[G/B]
And
[D] I'll be
[Gsus2] better when I'm older
[D] I'll be, the
[A/C#] greatest
[G/B] fan of your
[D] life
[Gsus2] [D] [A/C#] [G/B]
VERSE 2:
And
[D] rain falls
[Gsus2] angry on the tin roof
As
[D] we lie awake in my
[A/C#] bed
[G/B]
And
[D] you're my survival, you're
[Gsus2] my living proof
My
[D] love is alive and not
[A/C#] dead
[G/B]
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS:
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
And I've
[Bm7] dropped out, I've burned up, I've
[A] fought my way back from the dead
[G]
[Bm7] I Tuned in, I turned on, re
[A] membered the thing that you
[G] said
[C] [A]
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
OUTRO:
[D] The
[A/C#] greatest
[G/B] fan of your
[D] life
[Gsus2] [D] [A/C#] [G/B]
