Introduction:
C
You called it no man's land
Em F
With machine guns blasting to hell
C G
I let my guard down and carried my heart so far away
C Em
And in a letter sent, that I don't want to be here any more than them
Am
I'm sipping on coffee gone stale again
F G
Is this how it tastes to mix drinks with sour grapes?
Am C F
So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute
Am C F
So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute
G
We can argue who was first to bleed
C
Or let your walls do the talking
G
(We're falling faster now)
G Am C
But in the middle of the night
Em Am C
I lay there frozen in a memory
Em Am C
Of us down by the river
Em F G
With your hands clenched into mine
Am C
Well I still remember
Em Am C
All the promises you swore
Em Am C
That we'd never outlive
Em F G
Please tell me you remember, forever friends
Am C F
So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute
Am C F
So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute
G
We can argue who was first to bleed
C
Or let your walls do the talking
C Em
'Cause in the red light I'm singing all alone
C F
I watched my favorite dream fall from grace to stone
C Em
Hiding in the basement, we kept our voices low
Am G
You gave me that old troubled look that said, "I don't know"
C Em
Hold onto twilight, the sun brings empire
Am F G
We are the last fight, we are the fire
And just like your mother said
C Em
(Hold onto twilight, the sun brings empire)
You're too pretty and young for this
Am F G
(We are the last fight, we are the fire)
Just keep your head and keep your fire.
