INTRO: [G] [Csus2] //
[G] [Csus2]
VERSE 1:
The
[G] strands in your eyes, that
[Csus2] color them wonderful
[G] Stop me and steal my
[D/F#] breath
[C/E]
And
[G] emeralds from mountains, that
[Csus2] thrust towards the sky
[G] Never revealing their
[D/F#] depth
[C/E]
PRE-CHORUS:
And
[G] tell
[D/F#] me that
[C/E] we belong to
[D/F#] gether
[G] Dress it
[D/F#] up, with the
[C/E] trappings of
[D/F#] love
I'll
[G] be capti-
[D/F#]-vated, I'll
[C/E] hang from your
[D/F#] lips
In-
[G]-stead of the
[G] gallows, of
[D/F#] heartache that
[D/F#] hang from a-
[C/E]-bove
[C/E] [D/F#] [D/F#]
CHORUS:
[G] I'll be
[Csus2] your cryin' shoulder
[G] I'll be love's
[D/F#] suicide
[C/E]
And
[G] I'll be
[Csus2] better when I'm older
[G] I'll be, the
[D/F#] greatest
[C/E] fan of your
[G] life
[Csus2] [G] [D/F#] [C/E]
VERSE 2:
And
[G] rain falls
[Csus2] angry on the tin roof
As
[G] we lie awake in my
[D/F#] bed
[C/E]
And
[G] you're my survival, you're
[Csus2] my living proof
My
[G] love is alive and not
[D/F#] dead
[C/E]
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS:
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
And I've
[Em7] dropped out, I've burned up, I've
[D] fought my way back from the dead
[C]
[Em7] I Tuned in, I turned on, re
[D] membered the thing that you
[C] said
[F] [D]
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
OUTRO:
[G] The
[D/F#] greatest
[C/E] fan of your
[G] life
[Csus2] [G] [D/F#] [C/E]
[G] [Csus2] [G] [D/F#] [C/E] //
[G open]
