[Intro]
| Am | - | F6 | - |
| G | - | F6 | - |
[Verse 1]
Am F6
Waking up is harder than it seems
G F6
Wandering through these empty rooms of dusty books and quiet dreams
Am F6
Pictures on the mantle, speak your name
G F6
Softly like forgotten tunes, just outside the sound of pain
[Chorus 1]
Am G/B
Weren't we like a pair of thieves
C
With tumbled locks and broken codes
Dm
You cannot take that from me. My
E7
small reprieves, your heart of gold
Am G/B
Weren't we like a battlefield
C
Locked inside a holy war
Dm
You're loving my due diligence;
E7 Am
The only thing worth fighting for
[Interlude]
| Am | - | F6 | - |
| G | - | F6 | - |
[Verse 2]
Am F6
Change will come to those who have no fear
G F6
But I'm not her. You never were the kind who kept a rulebook near
Am F6
What I said was never what I meant.
G F6
And now you've seen my world in flames, my shadow songs, my deep regret
[Chorus 2]
Am G/B
Weren't we like a pair of thieves
C
With tumbled locks and broken codes
Dm
You cannot take that from me. My
E7
small reprieves, your heart of gold
Am G/B
Weren't we like a battlefield
C
Locked inside a holy war
Dm
You're loving my due diligence;
E7 Am
The only thing worth fighting for
[Interlude]
| Am | - | F6 | - |
| G | - | F6 | - |
End on Am
