[Intro]
D G
D
I'm walking fast through the traffic lights
Busy streets and busy lives
G
And all we know, is touch and go
D
We are alone with our changing minds
We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds
G
Or fades in time
D G
And I never (never), saw you coming
D G
And I'll never, be the same
D G
D
You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a cannonball
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've loved in shades of wrong
We learned to live with the pain
Mosaic broken hearts
G
But this love is brave and wild
D G
And I never (never), saw you coming
D G
And I'll never, be the same
D*-once
This is a state of grace
G*
This is the worthwhile fight
Em
Love is a ruthless game
D G
Unless you play it good and right
D
These are the hands of fate
G
You're my Achilles heel
Em
This is the golden age of something
D G-once
Good and right and real
D G
And I never (never), saw you coming
D G
And I'll never, be the same
D G
I never (never), saw you coming
D G
And I'll never, be the same

This is a state of grace

Left my scarf there at your sisters house
Am F-once
And you still got it, in your drawer, even now
C G Am F

Oh your sweet dispositon and my wide eyed gaze

We're singing in the car getting lost upstate

The autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place

And I know it's long gone and, and magics not here no more
Am G F G Am G
And I might be okay but I'm not fine at all

Cause there we are again on that little town street
Am F
You almost ran the red cause you were lookin' over at me
C G Am F
Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well
C G
Photo album on the counter your cheeks were turing red
Am F
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin size bed
C G
And your mothers telling stories 'bout you on a t-ball team

You tell me about your past thinkin' your future was me
C G
And I know it's long gone and it was nothing else I could do

But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up

Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well

Hey you call me up again just to break me like a promise
Am F
So casually cruel in the name of being honest

I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still tryin' to find it
C G
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Am F
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
C G
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
Am F
Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
C G Am F
You cant get rid of it cause you remember it all too well yeah

Cause there we are again when I loved you so

Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known

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
C#m A
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 C#m
Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that we've been through
A
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you
E A C#m
Tonight I'm gonna dance like you were in this room
A
But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you
