INTRO: [A] [Dsus2] //
[A] [Dsus2]
VERSE 1:
The
[A] strands in your eyes, that
[Dsus2] color them wonderful
[A] Stop me and steal my
[E/Ab] breath
[D/Gb]
And
[A] emeralds from mountains, that
[Dsus2] thrust towards the sky
[A] Never revealing their
[E/Ab] depth
[D/Gb]
PRE-CHORUS:
And
[A] tell
[E/Ab] me that
[D/Gb] we belong to
[E/Ab] gether
[A] Dress it
[E/Ab] up, with the
[D/Gb] trappings of
[E/Ab] love
I'll
[A] be capti-
[E/Ab]-vated, I'll
[D/Gb] hang from your
[E/Ab] lips
In-
[A]-stead of the
[A] gallows, of
[E/Ab] heartache that
[E/Ab] hang from a-
[D/Gb]-bove
[D/Gb] [E/Ab] [E/Ab]
CHORUS:
[A] I'll be
[Dsus2] your cryin' shoulder
[A] I'll be love's
[E/Ab] suicide
[D/Gb]
And
[A] I'll be
[Dsus2] better when I'm older
[A] I'll be, the
[E/Ab] greatest
[D/Gb] fan of your
[A] life
[Dsus2] [A] [E/Ab] [D/Gb]
VERSE 2:
And
[A] rain falls
[Dsus2] angry on the tin roof
As
[A] we lie awake in my
[E/Ab] bed
[D/Gb]
And
[A] you're my survival, you're
[Dsus2] my living proof
My
[A] love is alive and not
[E/Ab] dead
[D/Gb]
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS:
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
And I've
[Gbm7] dropped out, I've burned up, I've
[E] fought my way back from the dead
[D]
[Gbm7] I Tuned in, I turned on, re
[E] membered the thing that you
[D] said
[G] [E]
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
OUTRO:
[A] The
[E/Ab] greatest
[D/Gb] fan of your
[A] life
