[Intro]
A F#m D x 2
[Verse]
A F#m D A F#m D
You said I'll come back, I'll come back for you my love, wait for me
A F#m D A F#m D A
You said you're the only, you've been the only one I love, and love believes
[Chorus]
F#m D A E F#m D A E
But love is a bird that you kept in your coat, warm until it died in the dark
F#m D A E
And death is the love of what hurts you the most
D A
So you drink your day away till you're warm as paradise
A G#m F#m D A
I'm not hurt I'm broken, but I called to say I'm fine
A G#m F#m D A
And I heard you had another love, but I'd love you to think I don't mind
A G#m F#m D A
The baby in your arms ain't mine, but I made believe as though it was
A G#m F#m D
And I didn't mean to call this late but I think I'm in love With the thought of us
[Bridge]
A F#m D A x2 (6 down mute 5 down)
[Verse]
A
So you drink your day away till the liquor in your mouth laughs,
F#m
And mirrors paint you beautiful like older photographs,
D A
But we grow, we grow old, even this won't last
A
No one understands, no one cares at all
F#m
And they're tearing down our sacred places in the hall
D A
You know I hate to dance, still you ask, still you ask for my hand
A F#m
I love you like the kids love throwing bottles off the bridge
A D A
And breaking in to trade your fix for American shoes
F#m
For American shoes,
A D
I've been dying to lie awake in a room for two
A F#m D A F#m D
I'll come back, I'll come back for you my love
[Chorus]
F#m D A E F#m D A E
But love is a bird that you kept in your coat, warm until it died in the dark
F#m D A E
And death is the love of what hurts you the most
D A
So you drink your day away till you're warm as paradise
A G#m F#m D A
I'm not hurt I'm broken, but I called to say I'm fine
A G#m F#m D A
And I heard you had another love, but I'd love you to think I don't mind
A G#m F#m D A
The baby in your arms ain't mine, but I made believe as though it was
A G#m F#m D
And I didn't mean to call this late but I think I'm in love With the thought of us
