Intro:

E

A

x2

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 'til it hurts or bleeds or fades in time

E A And I never never saw you coming E A And I'll never never be the same E

A

E You come around and the armor falls Pierce the room like a cannon ball 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 E So you were never a saint And I love the shades of wrong We learn to live with the pain Mostly of broken hearts A But this love is great and wild

E A And I never never saw you coming E A And I'll never never be the same

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

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
