Chords: A, Bm, D, Em, G
[G]Follow me down to fake streets so far.
We were way too young but now they're stars.
[Em]Cause someone's talking of blood.[D]
[G]Standing so cold in photography, their faces knew,
And clearly showed every word that nothing comes true.
[Em]I'm here stuck in this town no more.[D][G][A]
I hoped you would say
[Bm]scratch the paper and pass a moment
making us [G]both around your shoulders
Let's go for the walls[A], never mind who was there,
Just think: the night is guilty in my view of the past.
[G]So now it's obvious I've learned, let's see your bet.
Her favorite place to sit, to forget.
[Em]Cause no one watched or would care.[D]
[G]They smile just to be safe,
Making sure nobody saw two dancing girls with their grins painted on.
[Em]Cause new year's night to yourself, oh now it's seventy three.
[D] But you didn't see it, did you?
[G] [A] I read your note. You're a poet.
(my coattails sing)
[Bm]Minutes call for longer,
[G]Finger prints show loss of blood,
[A]But being perfect was always hard,
Wasn't it, wasn't it, to you?
[Bm]The motivation is hard to find
[G]The screams were heard but never cried,
[A]So tell me how do you go through,
Tell me what brings you to this place.
[Bm]They will not be afraid,
[G]Only two know how sad this gets.
[A]The stage is set for them both,
And on the bathroom floor, glass ready, there's no turning back now.
[Bm] [G] [A]
[Bm]So when the crowds take the credit all away from you.
[G]You broke fate, so wait. I can't stay. I'm gone.
[A]Being perfect was always hard, wasn't it?
Wasn't it? Wasn't it, to you?
[Bm]So pack your bags, I think we're better off on our own.
[G]Only for this. I guess I don't mind.
[A]Stay safe and you'll be fine.
Now and there. It's time to go, let's run.
[Bm] [G] [A]
That's enough.
[Bm] [G] Because I bet you wished.
