[Intro]
C Am G F
 
[Verse 1]
C                         Am                           G
 Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames
       G
 If we know the steps anyway?
C                 Am                          G
 We embroided the memories of the time I was away
            G
 Stitching "we were just kids, babe"
F                     Am
 I said "I don't mind. It takes time."
C                G                C
 I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed
F             Am         G             C
 I felt a glow like this, never before, and never since
 
 
[Chorus]
C                 Am
 If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary
G
 You and I go from one kiss to getting married

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



C                             Am
 Still a life, killing time at the cemetery
G
 Never quite buried
                  F                   Am
 In your suit and tie, in the nick of time
             G                 C
 You lowdown boy, you stand up guy
          F
 You holy ghost
             Am                   C
 You told me I'm the love of your life
G                       C       Am
 Said I'm the love of your life
G                F
 About a million times
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                          Am                                       G
 Who was gonna tell me the truth when you blew in with the winds of fate
     G
 And told me I reformed you?
C                        Am                                   G
 When your impressionist paintings of heaven turned out to be fakes
       G
 Well, you took me to hell too
F                Am
 And all at once, the ink bleeds
C                 G
 A conman sells a fool a get love quick scheme
F                 Am         G             C
 But I felt a hole like this, never before, and ever since
 
 
[Chorus]
C                 Am
 If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary
G
 What we thought was for all time was momentary
C                             Am
 Still a life, killing time at the cemetery
G
 Never quite buried
         F                  Am
 You cinephile in black and white
           C                   G
 All those plot twists and dynamite
                F                  Am
 Mr. Steal Your Girl then make her cry
                           G     C
 Said I'm the love of your life
 
 
[Bridge]
Dm                            C
 You shit talked me under the table
                           F
 Talking rings and talking cradles
                    G
 I wish I could unrecall
                      Dm
 How we almost had it all
                         C
 Dancing phantoms on the terrace
                       F
 Are they secondhand embarrassed
                         G
 That I can't get out of bed
                              C
 'Cause something counterfeit's dead?
 
 
[Outro]
Am                F
 It was legendary
G                 C
 It was momentary
Am
 It was unnecessary
F
 Should've let it stay buried
G                   F
 Oh, what a valiant roar
                  Am
 What a bland goodbye
            G                C
 The coward claimed he was a lion
             F                     Am
 I'm combing through the braids of lies
            G            C
 I'll never leave, never mind
              F                  Am
 Our field of dreams engulfed in fire
              G                  G
 Your arson's match, your somber eyes
                F              Am
 And I'll still see it until I die
                     G      C
 You're the loss of my life
