Tom: C

F                 G
Dug your shoulder into mine
   C            Am
To see if I was there
F            G                 
Constellated candles trapped 
  C              Am
a ghost in Union Square
  F               G
A sea of street novenas
       C               Am
We had names for every one
           F      C
That one's Gabriel
           F       C
That one's Bubblegum
        G
There's Another One

Am      G
We were children
Am     G
Handed fire
Am      G         F G  C
We were someone's only friend
Am    G
So protected
Am     G
We conspired
Am       G   F    G C
To never be alone again

  F                 G
A basement floor in Annadale
  C              Am
A Lincoln Center dorm
   F               G
My future spoke in fits & starts
    C             Am
And never sounded sure
           F                G
'Til it announced itself in Sunset Park
   C      Am
On 33rd & 4th
      F  C
I was scared
      F  C
In my head:
            G
"You're not ready yet"

Am      G
We were children
Am     G
Handed fire
Am      G         F G  C
We were someone's only friend
Am    G
So protected
Am     G
We conspired
Am       G   F    G C
To never be alone again

F             C
But you waited, knowing better
Dm       G      C
You just let me spin
F             C
From the ashes to the altar
Dm      G      C
To your door again

           F      C
That one's Gabriel
           F       C
That one's Bubblegum
        G
There's Another One

Am      G
We were children
Am     G
Handed fire
Am      G         F G  C
We were someone's only friend
Am    G
So protected
Am     G
We conspired
Am       G   F    G C
To never be alone again

F             C
But you waited, knowing better
Dm       G      C
You just let me spin
F             C
From the ashes to the altar
Am          G   F    G C
We'll never be alone again
Am          G   F    G C
We'll never be alone again
Am          G   F    G C
We'll never be alone again
