[Intro] E A x2
[Verse]
E
I'm walking fast through the traffic lights
Busy streets and busy lives
A
And all we know is touch and go
E
We are alone with our changing minds
A
We fall in love till it hurts or bleeds or fades in time
[Chorus]
E A
And I never never saw you coming
E A
And I'll never never be the same
E A
[Verse]
E
You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a cannonball
A
Now all we know is don't let go
E
We are alone just you and me
Up in your room and our slates are clean
A
Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes
Pre-[Chorus]
E
So you were never a saint
And I've loved the shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mosaic broken hearts
A
But this love is brave and wild
[Chorus]
E A
And I never never saw you coming
E A
And I'll never never be the same
[Bridge]
E
This is a state of grace
A
This is the worthwhile fight
F#m
Love is a ruthless game
E A
Unless you play it good and right
E
These are the hands of fate
A
You're my Achilles heel
F#m E A
This is the golden age of something good and right and real
[Chorus]
E A
And I never never saw you coming
E A
And I'll never never be the same
E A
And I never never saw you coming
E A
And I'll never never be the same

[Intro] G Bm A
[Verse]
G Bm
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati
A
Down a dead end street
G
Faster than the wind
Bm
Passionate as sin
A
Ended so suddenly
G
Loving him is like trying to change your mind

Once you're already flying through the free fall

Like the colours in autumn so bright
A
Just before they lose it all
[Chorus]

Losing him was blue
D
like I'd never known

Touching him was like
G Bm
Realizing all you ever wanted
A
Was right there in front of you
G Bm
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words
A
To your old favorite song
G
Fighting with him was like tryin to solve
Bm A
A crossword and realizing there's no right answer
G Bm
Regretting him was like wishing you'd never found out
A
That love could be that strong
[Chorus]
G
Losing him was blue

like I'd never known

G Bm A
Burning was reeeeed

[Intro] G D Em C x2
G
I walked through the door with you
D
The air was cold
Em C
But something about it felt like home somehow
G D
And I left my scarf there at your sister's house
Em C
And you still got it in your drawer even now
G D Em C
G D
Oh your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze
Em C
We're singing in the car getting lost upstate
G D
Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
Em C
And I can picture it after all these days
G
And I know it's long gone
D
And that magic's not here no more
Em
And I might be okay
D C D Em D
But I'm not fine at all
G D
Cause there we are again on that little town street
Em C
You almost ran the red 'cause you were looking over me
G D Em C
Wind in my hair I was there I remember it all too well
G D
Photo album on the counter your cheeks were turning red
Em C
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-size bed
G D
Your mother's telling stories about you on the tee ball team
Em C
You tell me about your past thinking your future was me
G
And I know it's long gone
D
And there was nothing else I could do
G
And I forget about you long enough
D C D Em D
To forget why I needed to
G D
Cause there we are again in the middle of the night
Em C
We're dancing around the kitchen in the refrigerator light
G D Em C
Down the stairs I was there I remember it all to well
G D Em C D
G D
And maybe we got lost in translation maybe I asked for too much
Em C
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up
G D Em C
Running scared I was there I remember it all too well
G D
And you call me up again just to break me like a promise
Em C
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
G D
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
Em C G D Em C
Cause I remember it all all all too well
G D
Time won't fly it's like I'm paralyzed by it
Em C
I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still trying to find it
G D
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Em C
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
G D
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
Em C
Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
G D Em C
You cant get rid of it 'cause you remember it all too well yeah
G D
Cause there we are again when I loved you so
Em C
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
G D Em C
It was rare I was there I remember it all too well
G D
Wind in my hair you were there you remember it all
Em C
Down the stairs you were there you remember it all
G D Em C
It was rare I was there I remember it all too well

[Intro] E
E
I was reminiscing just the other day
While having coffee all alone and Lord it took me away
A
Back to a first-glance feeling on New York time
Back when you fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme
E
Took off fast through the green light go
Hey skip the conversation and you already know
C#m
I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made
A
And that was the first day
B C#m A
And darling it was good
B C#m A
Never looking down
B C#m A
And right there where we stood
E A
Was holy ground
E
Spinning like a girl in a brand new dress
We had this big wide city all to ourselves
A
We blocked the noise with the sound of I need you
And for the first time I had something to lose
E
Well I guess we fell apart in the usual way
And the story's got dust on every page
C#m
Sometimes I wonder how you think about it now
A
And I see your face in every crowd
B C#m A
And darling it was good
B C#m A
Never looking down
B C#m A
And right there where we stood
E A C#m A
Was holy ground
E A
Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you
E A
Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room
B
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you

I'm walking fast through the traffic lights
Busy streets and busy lives

We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds or fades in time
D G
And I never never saw you coming

You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a cannon ball
G
Now all we know is don't let go
D
We are alone just you and me
Up in your room and our slates are clean
G
Just twin fire signs four blue eyes
D
So you were never a saint
And I love the shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mostly of broken hearts
G
But this love is great and wild
D G
And I never never saw you coming

And I'll never never be the same

This is a state of grace
