Tom: C
Intro 2x: C Em G C
C Em G C
This town was a lovers stage but now you can't recognize
C Em G
The streetlights that are daggers to your eyes
Dm Am F C
You can't find your bearings you're slipping into the ground
F Am G
The scene has no color and no sound
C Em G C
You still believe in me after the things I've done
C Em G
You fear for what we have become
Dm Am F C
The ground is uneven we stumble from day to day
F Am
But shelter where it's easy
Em G
I know your feet are like lead but you've gotta get on the way.
F C Em Am
Drag your heart up to the starting line
F C G
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
F C Em Am
It's too easy to get left behind.
Dm
I know you've been kicked around
F C Em G C
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me
C Em G C
Each heart is a paper kite blown around by the breeze
C Em G
Love won't rest till it brings you to your knees
Dm Am F C
Some find it easy some will never even know
F Am
You think you've done your journey
Em G
Then you stumble and find that there's such a long way to go.
F C Em Am
Drag your heart up to the starting line
F C G
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
F C Em Am
It's too easy to get left behind.
Dm
I know you've been kicked around
F
You wanna be lost and not be found
Bbsus2
But let's take the back way into town
F C Em G C
And drink to the bad times lay them down on me.
C Em G C
Girl I still believe in you you're too good to fall so low
C Em G
We're gonna find a better life I know
Dm Am F C
Things will be clearer as soon as we make a start
F Am
We'll be that much nearer
Em G
We're too old to just stand here waiting to break apart
F C Em Am
Drag your heart up to the starting line
F C G
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
F C Em Am
It's too easy to get left behind.
Dm
I know you've been kicked around
F C Em G C C Em G C
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me on me on me
